Margherita Pizza

The Margherita pizza is a quintessential Italian classic, celebrated for its elegant simplicity and vibrant flavors. Its design is often said to represent the colors of the Italian flag: red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil.

• The Crust: Traditionally thin and hand-stretched, often featuring a slightly charred, “leopard-spotted” edge from being baked at high temperatures in a wood-fired oven.

• The Sauce: A simple, bright base made from crushed San Marzano tomatoes, seasoned with just a touch of sea salt.

• The Cheese: Fresh slices or torn pieces of high-quality mozzarella (often mozzarella di bufala or fior di latte) that melt into creamy pools.

• The Finish: Fresh, aromatic basil leaves added either before or immediately after baking, and a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
