đ Today marks 137 years since the Pizza Margherita got her name.
On June 11, 1889, a letter from the Royal Italian Household officially thanked Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito â and his wife Donna Rosa, who was the real pizza maker â for delivering three pizzas to the palazzo where King Umberto I and Queen Margherita were staying. The queenâs favorite? Tomatoes, fresh bufala mozzarella, and basil. History was made.
Come celebrate with us â Pizza Norcia has your Pizza Margherita (and the vere Margherita, for the purists). đŽđš
