PIZZA MARGHERITA

A Margherita pizza is a classic Italian pizza that features simple yet flavorful toppings: tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil leaves, and extra-virgin olive oil. The traditional Margherita pizza represents the colors of the Italian flag: red from the tomato sauce, white from the mozzarella cheese, and green from the basil leaves. It’s named after Queen Margherita of Italy, who supposedly enjoyed this combination of ingredients during a visit to Naples in the late 19th century. The simplicity of the Margherita pizza allows the quality of the ingredients to shine through, resulting in a delicious and satisfying meal.
