Pizza Margherita is a classic Italian dish known for its simplicity and fresh ingredients. Originating in Naples, it traditionally consists of a thin, hand-tossed crust topped with vibrant tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves, symbolizing the colors of the Italian flag. The dough is typically made from water, flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt, while the sauce uses ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and a hint of oregano. Nutritionally, Pizza Margherita offers a source of protein from the mozzarella and essential vitamins from the tomatoes and basil. Its olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, and the thin crust contains fewer calories compared to thicker, heavier alternatives. However, moderation is key, as it can be high in sodium and saturated fat depending on cheese quantity. This pizza remains a beloved choice for those seeking a lighter, flavorful option rooted in authentic Italian tradition.
