Did pizza ever face a ban in Italy?

Not exactly, but during Mussolini’s rule in the 1920s and 1930s, there was a push to promote traditional Italian cuisine and downplay foreign influences. Pizza, which was mostly a regional dish in Naples at the time, wasn’t a national favorite. It wasn’t banned, but it wasn’t celebrated either. After World War II, American soldiers stationed in Italy helped popularize it globally, and pizza became the world-renowned dish we know today. So, while pizza wasn’t illegal, it did take some time to rise to fame in its own country.Subscribe for more delicious fun facts on Trivia Tidbits!
