To celebrate world Pizza Day, we thought we’d share this interesting fact with you… Margherita was the first ever pizza flavour – In 1889 Queen Margherita visited Naples with her husband King Umberto. The pair grew tired of their diet, which consisted exclusively of French haute cuisine, and wished to try a local dish. The pizza delivered to them was topped with white cheese, basil and tomatoes, the colours of the Italian flag. It was dubbed the Margherita!
