QuoteThe first recorded use of the word "pizza" dates from 997 AD and comes from a Latin text from the town of Gaeta in Southern Italy [7]. The origins of the word are uncertain and disputed but there are 5 main theories:

Since my family is from Gaeta, and there is no proof on wikipedia claiming otherwise, it is now going to be a historical fact that my family invented pizza.
no it isnt
They invented the word... but did they invent the food?
QuotePizza took the form that we are now familiar with in pre-Renaissance Naples, a large city in central Italy. Poor peasants used their limited ingredients (wheat flour, olive oil, lard, cheese and natural herbs) to make a seasoned, flat bread garnished with cheese and using leftovers. This meal was originally called fococcia. Mozzarella cheese was one benefit of an invasion from Asian peoples, who brought the water buffalo to Italy. Today, the best mozzarella cheese is still made from water buffalo milk.
Gaetan citizens may have invented the word "pizza," but the food as we know it now was not invented there.

If he still wants to claim that his family invented that version of pizza, yes. And it's still possible, though incredibly unlikely.
Actually, let's just get to the point and call JMV a retard.

Oh yes, I'm retard because you can't grasp something that isn't a serious post.
You can't claim something to be a historical fact because there is no proof stating otherwise. psyduck;
You're an idiot if you don't know that.
