    I love pizza! Very good article. I would add that Margherita Pizza was named after the queen Margherita di Savoia tasted it for the first time, when Raffaele Esposito cooked for the royal family.

    Thanks for sharing the article. I learnt something new. I also heard somewhere that pizza was a "poor" man's food. That is why rich Italian aristocrats did not savor pizza. I am not sure how far this is true. In many high-end expensive Italian owned restaurants in US did not serve pizza. There is a minor "typo" in paragraph "Where was pizza invented?" I believe it should spell "Naples" instead of "Nepals". I hope if the author reads this comment, she can correct it later.
