As the story goes, the modern-day “plain” pizza—dough topped with tomatoes, cheese, and basil, representing the Italian flag’s red, white, and green colors—was dubbed the Pizza Margherita during a visit to Naples by Queen Margherita in 1889. By that time, pizza had actually been popular among the working poor in southern Italy for more than a century, and flatbreads and focaccia (sometimes served with toppings)
had been around for far longer.
