1. ('pittsa) Noun: italian, circa 1800's; refers to famous italian food consisting of dough, cheese, tomatoes as the basics.
2. ('pittsa) Verb: Greek origins = to press (as in pressing the dough to make the circular shape). Italian origins = to toss (as in tossing the dough in the air to make circular shape). Both Greek and Italian origins refer to how the circular shape is created in the process of making the pizza. The english translation often ignores the word root and meaning and usually refers to the pizza in general (regardless if it was pressed or tossed in the process of making the pizza)
