Pizza day

Sundays are our pizza making days. We prepare the pastry on Saturday and we leave it to rest until Sunday, when we put the toppings we like and enjoy lunch with home made pizza and beer!

Pizza is originally from Napoli, Italy. Duhh! Who do not know that? Almost all of us we do. Napoleatani are very proud of their pizza making skills and no pizza with chicken and ananas are accepted there. 

Pizza Margherita is the most famous one. It was born in 1899, when Margherita di Savoia was visiting Napoli. This pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and basilico was dedicated to her. 

It is simple, looks nice and taste is delicious. 

Here is our favorite recipe. Try it and let us know how did it come out and if you liked it.
