Pompeii archaeologists discover 'pizza’ painting

The flatbread depicted in the 2,000-year-old fresco "may be a distant ancestor of the modern dish", Italy's culture ministry said. But it lacks the classic ingredients to technically be considered a pizza. The fresco was found in the hall of a house next to a bakery during recent digs at the site in southern Italy. The discovery was made this year during new excavations of Regio IX in the centre of Pompeii, one of the nine districts that the ancient site is divided into.
