Yes, that's how we get the name "Margherita", or mozzarella and tomato pizza. The queen's name was Queen Margherita. Nowadays, people go crazy with toppings, even using chocolate and other sweet things, but what toppings would we find on a traditional, Neapolitan pizza? Pizza Napoletana is made with fresh mozzarella, home-made sauce from fresh vine ripened tomatoes and fresh herbs, and the artistry of the pizzaioli, the pizza makers. So, how did pizza migrate to America? We have many pizza chain restaurants which serve American style pizza or "deep pan" which are much thicker than the original Italian ones. Pizza came to America with Italian immigrants in the latter half of the 19th century. By the turn of the century, Italians had begun to open their own bakeries and were selling groceries as well as pizza. The first pizza restaurant or “Pizzeria” opened in 1905, in New York. But it wasn’t until after World War II when the soldiers came home, that pizza became so popular. Yes, the soldiers based in Italy had eaten lots of pizza and wanted to continue eating it when they came home. Today, pizza is one of the top three foods eaten by Americans and a staple of the American diet.
