Here is a fun fact...Margherita pizza is named after a Queen..how appropriate that I love it..It has nothing to do with the drink margarita from Mexico.  This is an Italian story...It's history dates back to1889.  The Queen summoned the Chef Raffaele Esposito from his pizzeria to the royal palace, ordered him to bake a selection of pizzas for her pleasure. To honor the Queen, Raffaele decided to make a very special pizza just for her. He baked a pizza topped with tomatoes, Mozzarella cheese and fresh basil (to represent the colors of the Italian flag: red, white and green) and called it 'Pizza Margherita'...and so..this Queen B likes it too :D
