Pizza Margherita: Italy’s Tastiest Tradition 🍕
How a queen inspired the world’s most beloved pizza
Pizza Margherita is more than just a delicious classic—it’s a slice of history!
Created in 1889 by chef Raffaele Esposito in Naples, this pizza was made to honor Queen Margherita of Savoy.
He crafted the dish using ingredients that matched the colors of the Italian flag: basil (green), mozzarella (white), and tomatoes (red). The queen loved it, and the name Pizza Margherita was born!
This simple but flavorful pizza became a symbol of Italian pride and is now one of the most popular pizzas worldwide. 🍕🌍
