Preamble: Pizza is a dish that has its roots in Naples, Italy, but has spread across the world and become a
fast food phenomenon. The pizza that is served by the fast food chains bears little resemblance to a true
Italian pizza, and many authentic Italian chefs would be surprised by Australian toppings such as bacon and
eggs. In Australia, companies such as Eagle Boys, Dominos and Pizza Hut have introduced many
multicultural influences including Satay, Mexican and Hawaiian pizzas.
