📜 The History of Pizza

Pizza, as we know it today, originated in Naples in the late 18th century. Its international recognition grew significantly when a special pizza was created in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy in 1889. Raffaele Esposito, the pizza maker, decorated it with ingredients representing the colors of the Italian flag: red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil, naming it Pizza Margherita. This gesture not only established pizza as an Italian culinary symbol but also initiated its global spread in the 20th century, adapting to various cultures while maintaining its Neapolitan roots.
