Though its origin is rooted in Italy, pizza is one of the most beloved foods across the world. The carb-rich, meat-powered, cheesy delight makes any occasion come alive.

There is a range of options available in pizzas -- thin-crusted, deep-dish, or thick-crust, all of which have a great cheese payoff.

A dish somewhat similar to pizzas, flatbread with toppings, was eaten by ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks, but it acquired an update in southwestern Italy’s Campania region where it was introduced as an inexpensive and quick bite for rush hours. Pizzas today are served as both luxury and fast food cuisine by top-notch eateries across the world's notable cities.

The dish is honored on National Pizza Day, which falls on Feb. 9, and to mark the occasion, below are some quotes about the drool-worthy snack that will make you grab a box, courtesy: Pizzaneed.com.
