I always love to tell people the story about Raffaele Esposito, the pizzamaker from Naples who is credited with "inventing" the modern pizza. According to history,in 1890, Esposito made Queen Margherita the famous 3 color Italian flag pizza with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. The Queen loved it! Any way, my great grandmother is an Esposito from Naples around that time so I like to think I was born to love pizza! I have no choice!
