The Margherita Marvel: 1889, A Queen Rises<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShe has reigned for over a hundred years. She survived two pandemics, as well as a few revolutions, and sang more than her fair share of city folk to sleep at 2 AM. All hail, she who sits at the pizza throne \u2013 the Margherita. Always stewarded by her trustworthy servant and longtime friend, the pizza shop.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBeing a pizzaiolo (pizza maker) is a calling, really. Some hear her soft, crispy calls at a tender age, while others answer one late Tuesday afternoon from the office on the sixteenth floor. I\u2019m coming home, Margherita! But pizza makers have their dough cut out for them, with some bending the knee to her in life-long service.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis you know: when a pizza joint can pull off a seriously sumptuous Margherita pizza, they\u2019re solid. Everyone knows their name. Their status is sealed (with cheese, obviously). They officially join the ranks and are welcomed into the Pizzadom, where they are knighted by Margherita herself. In fact, that\u2019s where we\u2019re writing from at the moment \u2013 true story.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIs there a map to the Pizzadom? Why, yes. Yes, there is.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Dough\u2019s Mountains Are Tall & Stretch Wide<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe iconic Margherita captures the essence of simplicity and was born from royalty \u2013 pizza royalty, Raffaele Esposito, and Italian royalty, Queen Margherita of Savoy.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe story goes like this\u2026 In the 19th century, Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito was asked to prepare a special dish for Queen Margherita to commemorate a visit. Inspired by the Italian flag, he crafted a pizza that celebrated simplicity and the finest local ingredients, using tomatoes (red), mozzarella (white), and basil (green). It\u2019s fair to say that what we know as a Margherita pizza today was a hit with Queen Margherita of Savoy, solidifying its royal inheritance.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRaffaele knew that his first stop was definitely Doughville. He knew Neapolitan Pizza and Neapolitan Pizza knew him. It was, in retrospect, the best match for such a humble Italian food staple affair. Bubbly, slightly golden, and crisp-as-ever, the perfect Neapolitan Pizza base would soon become part of more than one legacy.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Past the Deep Tomato Lagoon & Under a Cheesy Bridge<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This lagoon is as deep as it is glowing with intensity. Legend speaks of an original red river that saw crushed San Marzano tomatoes, known for their sweet flavor and low acidity, flowing onto Neapolitan bases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTravelers know they are on the right path when they see drizzles of extra-virgin olive oil and hints of seasoning just before spotting what can only be described as a mozzarella triumph. Mere local pizza shops could never.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYour final mission, should you choose to accept it: collect toppings.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs the fragrant, fresh dashes of basil lightly cover your new bestie, you know you\u2019ll be back. For a controversial herb like basil, the amount added can be a dealbreaker for a lot of people, but you only have to lock eyes with your Made in New York Margherita to know that it\u2019s just right.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
