One of my favorite kinds of pizza has always been Margherita pizza. It only takes a couple of simple ingredients and you get incredibly delicious results! With that tomato, basil, and fresh mozzarella combo, you just can’t go wrong.
There are several recipes for Margherita pizza out there, but this is how I like to make mine.
Nothing but a simple crust of the pizza, some tomatoes from San Marzano, EVOO, garlic, fresh Mozza, and lots of fresh basil.
This Margherita Pizza is going to be a hit for sure! You’ll get a pretty thin crust topped with a delicious garlic tomato sauce, lots of fresh mozzarellas, and lots of fresh basil. That’s how you make pizza!
