Gino Sorbillo, the owner of one of Naples’ oldest pizzerias, said he believes the food on the fresco may as well just be called a pizza.
“In ancient Pompeii we already knew that there were forms of flatbread, made with grains, water, salt and maybe beer as a leavening agent,” Sorbillo told The Guardian.
“Then they might have topped it with vegetables or the fish of the day. It was an ancient form of pizza.”
