Be it streets or high-end restaurants, you'll find pizza everywhere with the most surprising burst of flavors yet all there to win your heart.
On that note, here are 8 fun things you didn't know about pizza:
1. The Chronicle of Margherita
Simple, basic, and comforting aren't they? Margherita pizza was invented, when Raffaele Esposito made pizza for Queen Margherita during her travels. Out of which, a pizza similar to the Italian flag with mozzarella for white, tomato for red, and basil for green was her favorite. The Queen loved this Italian pizza so much that it was named after her.
2. Happiness delivered in 3 minutes
