Who Invented Pizza? A Look at the History and Origins
Who invented pizza? The answer most often points to Raffaele Esposito, a clever baker from Naples, Italy. In 1889, Esposito is believed to have made what could be considered “modern” pizza, a delicious flatbread topped with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil. It was crafted in honor of Queen Margherita of Savoy. His creation, fittingly named Pizza Margherita, quickly became legendary and is widely recognized as the beginning of the pizza we all obsess over today.
