Century Old Legend…
Like with so many centuries-old foods, the origins of pizza Margherita are surrounded by legends. A popular one says that the pizza Margherita was invented by Raffaele Esposito at Pizzeria Brandi in Naples in 1889 to celebrate the unification of Italy. It is also believed the three toppings – basil, mozzarella, and tomato – represent the colors of the Italian flag and that Esposito named this pizza after Queen Margherita of Savoy.
