CLASSIC PIZZAS - By: XennMarketing

CLASSIC MENU
Two traditional Italian pizzas are recognized as classic in Italy, which are: pizza Marinara and pizza Margherita. The first one consists of oregano, tomato, basil and extra virgin oil. It is named after the fishermen‟s wives, who used to prepare it for their men, when they came back home. The second one, Margherita, consists of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil, which for its colors resembles the Italian flag. It is named after Queen Margherita of Savoy, an Italian queen.

There are some standards that Italian restaurants have to meet to be able to claim that they sell classic pizzas in their establishments. These standards were set by the True Neapolitan Pizza Association. Some of their requirements are that the pizzas should be hand kneaded only, must not be bigger than 35 centimeters and must be cooked in wood fire for not longer than 60 to 90 seconds.

Through the years, the options have increased and they have formed part of what we call the classic menu, which consists of a group of delicious pizzas that are the most popular in restaurants.
