Explanation: Ancient Roman predecessors to modern pizza used pomegranate, amongst other fruits. Of course, such proto-'pizzas' lacked tomatoes (as tomatoes come from the Americas) and probably lacked mozzarella (as mozzarella is first mentioned during the Renaissance).

Its hard to imagine Italy without marinara sauce.
Insane, isn't it? Tomatoes were an ornamental plant in Europe even after they were introduced for almost 200 years, on account of it being part of the nightshade family (and thus, thought to be poisonous). Tomatoes in Italian cuisine only date to around ~1700 AD, yet it's hard to imagine it without tomatoes!
