According to Italian food historian Professor Alberto Grandi, tomato sauce on pizza was not invented in Italy, but in America - and veteran pizzaiolos in Rome have expressed outrage over the claim.

According to Professor Grandi, tomato sauce on pizza originated in America. Veteran pizzaiolos in Rome have hit back - dismissing the claims as 'rubbish'. READ MORE:Tomato sauce on pizza was invented in America, not Italy , according to an Italian food historian - and veteran pizzaiolos in Rome have been left furious over the claim.

As part of the famous 'Italian diaspora', 13million Italians emigrated to America between 1880 and 1920 - however, many then returned to their home country the following years. 'Italians discovered it overseas, thanks to the industrialisation of food production. Pizza became red in America. Before that it was plain focaccia, sometimes adorned with pieces of tomato.'

Another pizzaiolo - or pizza maker - agrees with Gianni: at Antica Trattoria Agonale in Piazza Navona, Clariston Alves has also been left unimpressed by the authors' claims.
