What is Mozzarella Margherita Pizza?
Mozzarella Margherita Pizza comes from Naples, where this simple pie is made with tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil on a baked dough base. The crust is tender in the middle and often lightly crisp at the edge; tangy tomato and fragrant basil balance the creamy, melted cheese.
In Naples it is commonly enjoyed freshly baked, either as a whole pizza or by the slice, and the style is now familiar in pizzerias around the world. It supplies carbohydrates from the crust, alongside protein and fat from the cheese. For a lighter meal, choose a thinner crust and serve it with a green salad.
