The Margherita pizza is undeniably the queen of pizzas—a timeless favourite cherished across the globe. Its origin is steeped in legend, dating back to a small pizzeria nestled in the narrow alleys of Naples. The story goes that this iconic dish was created to celebrate the unification of Italy and honour Queen Margherita of Savoy. Showcasing the colours of the Italian flag—red, white, and green—the Margherita pizza is a culinary symbol of national pride.
The Secret to Perfection: Quality Ingredients
The magic of a Margherita pizza lies in its simplicity, making the choice of ingredients absolutely crucial. With just a few toppings, using the finest quality elements ensures a pizza that is nothing short of extraordinary.
The Dough A good pizza starts with great dough. We recommend our Classic Neapolitan Dough Recipe crafted with Caputo 00 flour, the gold standard for pizza flour in Naples. Its texture and flavor set it apart from ordinary supermarket flours, giving your pizza an authentic, airy base.
The Sauce The sauce is the heart of the Margherita. Use San Marzano tomatoes, which grow exclusively in the volcanic soil near Naples. Hand-crush the tomatoes and add just a pinch of salt to taste. These sweet, low-acid tomatoes bring an unmatched depth of flavor that forms the soul of this pizza.
The Basil Fresh basil leaves are a must. Their fragrance beautifully infuses the pizza while it bakes, adding an aromatic layer to every bite.
The Cheese For an authentic experience, top your pizza with Fior di Latte mozzarella. This Italian-style mozzarella melts to creamy perfection, bringing the Margherita's signature flavor to life.
The Oven To get a true Neapolitan Pizza you need a good pizza oven that can reach temperatures of 400 degrees Celsius and cook the pizza in 90 seconds to 2 minutes. The high heat causes the water in the dough to turn to steam and cook the dough from the inside resulting in a light airy crust. Check out our range of high-quality home Pizza Ovens.
Timeless Elegance
Despite its simplicity, the Margherita pizza continues to captivate with its bold flavors and rich history. It’s a dish that embodies the essence of Italian cuisine—using fresh, high-quality ingredients to create something truly remarkable.
Whether you're a seasoned pizza maker or a beginner, mastering the Margherita is a rewarding culinary journey. With the right ingredients and a little love, you can bring a taste of Naples to your table.
