Pizza is a traditional Italian dish. It’s popular not only in Italy but around the world.
Naples, a city in southern italy, is believed to be the birthplace of pizza. It’s well-known
for the most delicious pizza anywhere. The first pizzeria was built in Naples in 1830 at
Port’Alba.
The ancestor of modern pizza is the simple flat bread. It’s the food of the poor. The truly
modern pizza we eat today starts with the Mergherita pizza. In 1889, Queen margherita
went on a trip to Naples. She heard about pizza and asked to try it. Don Raffaele
Esposito, the most famous pizza market, was asked to prepare it. He prepared two
traditional and one new type of pizza, but the Queen liked the new one topped with
tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil the best. She thought that the colours of this
pizza represented the colours of the Italian flag – red, white, and green. This pizza was
then called “ Margherita”
