Homemade Margherita pizza
Pizza, one of the most popular Italian cuisines in the world.
But, Frankly, It's hard to find stores where sell "real Italian pizza".
Most of pizza places sell pizzas which are Americanized. They put too much toppings on it, and that makes each ingredient hard to be tasted.
In that respect, the Margherita would be one of pizzas that you can enjoy each ingredient.
Pizza Margherita is a variety of pizzas that originates in Naples. It's basically made with fresh dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, basil, splash of olive oil.
You can sprinkle fresh grated-parmesan cheese to add flavour, and splashing olive oil on top make it different.
Try Margherita and enjoy the freshness.
