If you know anything about Maddie and I, it’s that we absolutely love pizza (and ordered it way too much in college, honestly).
We decided that Rome was the perfect place for us to go, in part because Italian food is our favorite. And yes, for the three days we were there, we ate nothing but pizza, pasta, and gelato. Mamma Mia! 😉
We learned that margherita pizza was originally created to honor the visit of Italy’s Queen Margherita (1851 – 1926). Supposedly, the pizza was inspired by the colors of the Italian flag with its green basil, white mozzarella, and red marinara sauce.
Also, in Italy (and basically everywhere else we have been in Europe) pizza is ordered individually (one person per pizza) and eaten with a fork and knife instead of by hand.
