Sometimes the simple yet basic things are best, like a comfortable pair of shoes, an easy chair and a warm fire. Pizza is already a comfort food, universally accepted and craved by one and all so why complicate it. The basic ingredients of flour, mozzarella, tomato, and basil representing the colors of the Italian flag were presented by Rafael Esposito in honor of Queen Margharita and her Husband King Umberto visiting his home town of Naples in 1889. Still the Margharita or plain pizza is the top seller across America and truly the best way to tell if a pizza maker is on top of his game. There is no mistaking freshly prepared quality ingredients when there are no exotic flavors overpowering or masking the basic ingredients. If you can make a quality Margharita the rest is easy so get busy.
