Accepted Answer

The Margherita pizza was supposedly invented in 1889 for Queen Margherita of Italy, with green-white-red toppings (basil, mozzarella, tomato) as a tribute to the Italian flag. A 2014 study by historian Zachary Nowak suggests the story is mostly later marketing.

De Margherita-pizza zou in 1889 zijn uitgevonden voor koningin Margherita van Italië, met groen-wit-rode toppings (basilicum-mozzarella-tomaat) als eerbetoon aan de Italiaanse vlag. Een 2014-onderzoek door historicus Zachary Nowak suggereert dat het verhaal grotendeels marketing achteraf is.
