Gas and electric ovens are the only way to cook a pizza period if you're at home. What choice do you have?
Mackey, we have the Pampered Chef stone as well. Works like a dream. And we do use it for frozen pizzas as well. Turns out great. Just remember that with pizza stones, you do not wash them with soap. I know that means it looks pretty nasty, but the porous nature of the stone means that it sucks up the soap and doesn't let it go. Read the instructions. They say not to clean with soap. You'll wind up with a nasty taste. All you can really do is clean with a rag or sponge and water.

If I run across your IHOPped grave, I'll make sure to pour a 40 of syrup over your stone as a tribute to my pancake-lovin' homie!

The tomato was first believed to be poisonous (as most other fruits of the nightshade family are), when it came to Europe in the 16th century. However, by the late 18th century even the poor of the area around Naples added it as an ingredient to their yeast-based flat bread, and the dish gained in popularity. Pizza became a tourist attraction, and visitors to Naples ventured into the poorer areas of the city to try the local specialty.
The earliest pizzeria opened in 1830 at Via Port'Alba 18 in Naples and is still in business today. Pizza was still considered "poor man's food" in 1889 when Rafaele Esposito, the most famous pizzaiolo of Naples, was summoned before King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy to prepare the local specialty. It is said that he made two traditional ones and additionally created one in the colours of the Italian flag with red tomato sauce, white mozzarella cheese, and green basil leaves. The Queen was delighted and "pizza Margherita" was born.
An Italian immigrant to the US in 1897 named Gennaro Lombardi opened a small grocery store in New York's Little Italy. An employee of his, Antonio Totonno Pero (also an Italian immigrant) began making pizza for the store to sell. Their pizza became so popular, Lombardi opened the first US pizzeria in 1905, naming it simply Lombardi's. In 1924, Totonno left Lombardi's to open his own pizzeria on Coney Island called Totonno's. At this point in time in the U.S., pizza consumption was still limited mostly to the Italian immigrant crowd.
