Hello and welcome back to the Curious Kid Podcast. We don't get curious about food very often,

but you can bet that when we do, it's a food that is enjoyed by almost everyone.

Stop right there, Daddy. I don't love pizza like lots of other kids do. Can you believe it?

Olivia is not a big fan of pizza. She likes a lot of the other foods that kids typically like to eat,

but not pizza. Kids love eating pizza so much that you will find pizza at almost every kid's birthday

We are getting curious about pizza this week for seven-year-old Andrew of Toronto, Canada.

We read his five-star review in last week's episode.

Learning more about pizza is going to be so much fun.

The history of pizza is really interesting, and we were able to find some really delicious facts about pizza.

Pizza is a food that's enjoyed all over the world.

strange. Take Japan, for example. There is a popular pizza topping in Japan called Mayo Jaga, which includes things like bacon, mayonnaise, and potato.

In Brazil, they add toppings like corn, peas, and hearts of palm to their pizza.

In Sweden, many people top their pizza with bananas and curry powder.

In Australia, eggs are a common pizza topping.
