Picture this: the sun-kissed streets of Naples in the late 19th century, where a warm breeze carries the tantalizing aromas of traditional Italian kitchens. It’s here, in this vibrant city, that a culinary tale as enchanting as the pizza itself began.
In 1889, Queen Margherita of Savoy, in all her regal grace, embarked on a journey to Naples. Eager to honour her visit, a talented pizzaiolo named Raffaele Esposito crafted a trio of pizzas, each a masterpiece in its own right. But one creation stood out—a pizza adorned with the colours of the Italian flag: rich ruby-red tomatoes, creamy white mozzarella, and fresh vibrant basil.
This exceptional pizza, lovingly named “Margherita” in tribute to the queen, not only delighted her taste buds but also captured the essence of Italian pride and simplicity. Each bite of this iconic pizza tells a story of tradition, honour, and a passion for quality ingredients.
