The pizza – from Italy's national dish out into the world
Basically, a pizza is an Italian national dish, the basis of which is a yeast dough base.
The base is spread with tomato sauce, seasoned with oregano and topped to your heart's content. Originally, the pizza consisted of three ingredients: yeast dough, tomato sauce and cheese.
According to tradition, the first variant that corresponds to the way you imagine a pizza today was baked in 1889 for King Umberto I and his wife Margherita.
The Pizza Margherita owes its name to the Queen, who, together with her husband, enjoyed the savory baked goods made in Naples for the first time.

The toppings can be hot with chilies, sweet with pineapple or spicy and fruity with any type of vegetable (vegetarian or also on pizzas with salami, boiled ham or meat).
A dish that is not only popular in Italy is the Pizza Quattro Formaggi, which tastes particularly spicy with four types of cheese.
