Why Margherita Pizza is a Timeless Favorite

The name “Margherita” is not just a description of the pizza but a slice of history. It was created in 1889 in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy, effectively making it one of the cornerstones of Italian cuisine. Its three vibrant ingredients are said to symbolize the colors of the Italian flag—red, white, and green. Despite its simplicity, Margherita pizza has earned its place as a beloved dish around the globe, celebrated for its ability to highlight the deliciousness of its ingredients.
