National Margherita Pizza Day
Today has been National Margherita Pizza Day.
It has not quite worked out the way I thought it might.
For starters, I discovered that Margherita Pizza does not come with tequila. Wrong kind of Margarita. That was disappointing.
Then, as I walked away to do something else, I heard someone ask, “Is it okay to eat?”
I said yes, but I need enough left to photograph.
Apparently I should have been more specific.
Margherita pizza is one of the simplest and most recognizable pizza styles. It is traditionally made with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil. According to the popular story, it was created in Naples, Italy, in 1889 and named after Queen Margherita of Savoy. The red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil were said to represent the colors of the Italian flag.
In this case, the pizza survived long enough for me to get a photograph, although just barely.
