PIZZERIA BRANDI
If you want to try some pizza, go to Pizzeria Brandi, (Chiaia Str. closer to Plebiscito Square), where the "pizza margherita" was born (a stone is exposed outside the restaurant explaining the history of the first pizza)"
In 1889, while on summer holiday in Naples, Umberto I, King of Italy along with Queen Margherita di Savoia, summoned Naples's most popular pizza maker, Raffaele Esposito, to sample his specialties.
Esposito made two "classic" pizzas: the marinara topped with tomato, garlic, oregano, and olive oil; and the mastunicola which had lard, cheese, and basil as toppings. In honour of the Queen of Italy, the pizza maker's wife prepared a variant made of red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, and a garnish of green basil: colours that made up the Italian flag.
Queen Margherita was so pleased especially with the variant with basil. Esposito later named it "pizza margherita" - the pizza that permanently established Naples as the pizza capital of the world and has set the standard for which today's pizza evolved.
