This is a vegetarian pizza invented by Pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito, Pizzeria Brandi’s chef in honor of the visit of queen Margarita. The queen wanted three prominent colors in the pizza present in the flag of Italy. Red in represented by tomatoes, green represented by basil and white represented by mozzarella. It is a quick easy pizza recipe with a pizza bread topped with homemade tomato sauce, tomatoes, basil and covered with white mozzarella.
