Margherita
Classic pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil
About This Pizza
The world's most beloved pizza, the Margherita represents the essence of Neapolitan pizza-making. This masterpiece combines the holy trinity of Italian ingredients: San Marzano tomatoes that burst with Mediterranean sunshine, creamy buffalo mozzarella that melts into silky perfection, and fresh basil leaves that release their aromatic oils when kissed by the wood-fired oven's heat. Each bite delivers a perfect balance of acidity, creaminess, and herbaceous freshness that has captivated food lovers for over a century.
The Story Behind
Born in 1889 in Naples, the Margherita pizza was created by pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy during her visit to Naples. The pizza's colors - red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil - were chosen to represent the Italian flag. This wasn't just a culinary creation; it was a patriotic statement that elevated pizza from street food to royal cuisine. The queen was so delighted with this creation that it forever bears her name, making it the first pizza to achieve international recognition.
