Margherita pizzas

Classic Italian pies

Margherita pizzas are the plural of Margherita pizza, a classic Neapolitan pizza topped with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil.

The simple combination mirrors the colors of the Italian flag.

Named for Queen Margherita of Italy, it remains a benchmark for pizzerias: We ordered two Margherita pizzas to share.
