What pizza is based on the Italian flag?
The original pizza (so the story goes) was the Pizza Margherita
(named for, and supposedly created for, Margherita Maria Teresa
Giovanna of Savoy--check Wikipedia if you want more info). It is
red (tomato), white (real mozzarella cheese), and green
(basil)--the colors of the Italian flag (aka il tricolore).
Basically a caprese salad baked on top of a focaccia loaf, it
became an instant classic and inspired a whole genre of global fast
food. Amongst other things. Viva Napoli.
