The Margherita pizza stands as an icon among pizzas, a symbol of Italian heritage.
Named after Queen Margherita of Savoy, this Neapolitan classic is a harmonious trio of tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil atop a thin, chewy crust. Its vibrant colors pay homage to the Italian flag, while its delightful simplicity showcases the quality of its basic ingredients.
While many travelers would recommend a visit to one of the world’s greatest metropolises, a trip to a quaint town is the perfect antidote to those 21st-century blues.
