ABOUT THE HISTORY OF PIZZA

as the story goes..

queen margherita joined her husband king umberto 1 on a trip to naples in 1889. as a sign of goodwill, she sampled a local food, popular only with the peasants called the PIZZA

the pizzailo ( pizza chef ) she hired, raftaele esposito, made 3 different types of pizzas for her

one with only oil, one with fish and one with mozzarella cheese and crushed tomatoes

when the pizza was about to be presented, esposito’s wife maria brandi tossed a handful of basil leaves on top of the pizza to match the color of the italian flag of white, red and green as a display of patriotism

the queen loved the pizza and the chef esposito named the pizza as pizza Margherita in the queen’s honor

in 1889, the pizzailo esposito, owned a pizzeria called pietro e basta cosi now under the name of pizzeria brandi and is one of the famous in naples
