pizza
(redirected from Pizza Margherita)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

pizza

Food of Neapolitan origin. It consists of a flattened disk of bread dough, typically topped with olive oil, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese, baked quickly, and served hot. Pizza is eaten throughout Italy, with regional variations in toppings. Pizza came to the U.S. with Italian immigrants; the first U.S. pizzeria opened in 1905, and pizza became one of the nation's favourite foods after World War II. It is now popular worldwide.

The Pizza Margherita is the a true taste of summer, but the Pizza Alla Pera (extra virgin olive oil, oven-roasted pears, gorgonzola, pine nuts, fresh spinach and prosciutto) shouldn't be ignored, either.
I helped a friend close down his restaurant in Trastevere, one of the Eternal City's trendier areas, and the choices on his menu became successively smaller, until we were down to Pizza Margherita, that most basic and quintessential of Italian products, with the ingredients of the tricolor flag: white mozzarella cheese, green basil and red tomato sauce.
And if you can't find a life-transforming pizza Margherita in the area, you probably ought to give up eating.
