No tequila in Bella Napoli, but the original Pizza, still the most popular today, is the Pizza Margherita . . .On the 11th June 1889, the Ristorante Brandi is generally credited with producing the simple wood oven baked thin pasta circle with crushed fresh tomatoes,fresh mozarella, a drizzle of olive oil and a nice basil leaf in the middle. It was named for Queen Margherita . . . no twist of lime!
Re: but the original Pizza, still the most popular today, is the Pizza Margherita
what about pizza rustica? pizza is a term for pie, and pizza rustica is old dish. now served at easter, its most likely a pre-christian spring dish--made with grain, and fresh green herbs (baked in a yeasted 'pie' crust--
pizza rustica, is of course 'country cooking'.
'modern' pizza might be more like the pizza marghertia, but this is hardly the 'origianl pizza'
Etymologies of
pizza differ from scholar to scholar. I know of two: (a) the
traditonal one from Greek
pitta 'cake, tart'; and, the
newish one from Germanic
bizzo 'bite, piece' (cf. German
biss).
