Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The word 'pizza' derives from Latin 'pix' (pitch) or Greek 'pitta' (bread, cake), reflecting the flat, bread-like nature of the dish. Etymological dictionaries trace it through these classical roots, not from English 'peat,' French 'pique,' or simply 'pie' - though pizza is a type of pie, the word itself has Mediterranean classical origins. The Greek 'pitta' relates to modern pita bread, showing the culinary connection.
