Tomatoes were introduced in the 1500s when the explorers brought them back from South America. The wealthy, however, thought the fruit to be poison, so they refused to use it for many years, so it was only served in the poorer sections of the city on dough rounds. News carried quickly and pizzerias started doing a great business among all classes.
