Origin:-
An often recounted story holds that on June 11, 1889, to honour the Queen consort of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, the Neapolitan pizzamaker Raffaele Esposito created the "Pizza Margherita", a pizza garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, to represent the national colours of Italy as on the Flag of Italy.
The modern pizza was created in Naples around the middle of the 19th century. It was brought to America by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century It was originally sold mostly from pushcarts in Italian communities in major cities, but pizzerias began opening around 1900.
