Staten Island Pizza and PizzeriaNew York is known for it's fantastic Pizza and Staten Island is no exception. Staten Island has many of New York's finest pizzerias and many would say
the best pizza around. Pizza facts: The word "pie" does not refer to the crust, nor even to the shape or position of the crust.The Oxford English, the Webster's unabridged, and lexicographer Charles Earl Funk, all agree that the elemental word "pie" relates to the Magpie, a bird with feathers splotched in two colors, a bird called "Pica" by the Romans, whence the English "Pie" and the alteration of "Pica" to "Pizza". The name relates to the bird's double color and its habit of gathering odds and ends as does a Pizza, or Pie, gather, and consist of, varied ingredients. Or is it this one? Pizza is a baked pie of Italian origin consisting of a shallow bread-like crust covered with seasoned tomato sauce, cheese, and often other toppings such as sausage or olive. The word pizza is believed to be from an Old Italian word meaning "a point", which in turn became the Italian word "pizzicare," which means "to pinch" or "pluck."
