Pizza, in its rudimentary forms, existed in Naples for centuries as a simple flatbread. The modern pizza began to evolve in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Pizza Margherita specifically has a widely circulated legend linking it to Queen Margherita of Savoy's visit to Naples in 1889. Seeking a dish representative of the nation, a local baker, Raffaele Esposito, supposedly created a pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil to represent the colors of the Italian flag.

The Pizza Margherita is characterized by its simple yet harmonious flavors. The combination of fresh tomato, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil creates a balanced and refreshing taste.
The bright acidity of the tomato sauce provides a base of flavor, complemented by the milky richness of the mozzarella cheese. Fresh basil leaves introduce a peppery, slightly sweet aroma and taste that tie all the elements together. The crust, ideally thin and slightly charred, offers a subtle, earthy counterpoint to the other ingredients.

Dough Preparation
Use high-quality '00' flour for the dough and allow for a long, slow fermentation to develop flavor and create a light, airy crust. Don't overwork the dough.
Tomato Sauce
Use San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce. These tomatoes are known for their sweetness and low acidity. Keep the sauce simple; just crush the tomatoes and add a pinch of salt.
Mozzarella Choice
Fresh mozzarella di bufala is the traditional choice. Slice it thinly and distribute it evenly over the pizza to prevent it from making the crust soggy. Alternatively, fior di latte is a good substitute.
Baking Temperature
Bake the pizza at a high temperature (450-500°C or 850-930°F if possible) in a wood-fired oven for a short amount of time to achieve a slightly charred crust and perfectly melted cheese. A home oven should be as hot as possible.
