There is a Neapolitan pizza called Margherita which got its name from a royalty and not from a flower (Margherita in Italian means daisy). Stories say that in 1889, Queen Margherita of Savoy was served with a unique pizza during her visit in Naples. Created by Don Raffaele Esposito, a local tavern owner, this pizza resembled the colors of the Italian flag: red (tomatoes), white (mozzarella cheese) and green (basil). Since then, this kind of pizza was called Margherita to give tribute to the queen.
