Margherita Pizza
A traditional Neopolitan pizza uses simple ingredients from Italy: sweet San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala (mozzarella from the milk of a water buffalo), high-quality extra virgin olive oil, and fresh basil. To create a similar style Margherita pizza, use fresh whole milk mozzarella and sliced Roma tomatoes for a superb complement of textures and flavors, highlighted by the herbal tang of fresh basil.
