ピザの日(piza no hi): Day of pizza

They say November 20 is day of Pizza.
The birthday of Margherita di Savoia (1851-1926) is November 20, and her name became the one of the most representative pizzas of Italy, that is Pizza Margherita. In 1889 when Margherita visited Naples and wanted to have a pizza. Then Don Raffaele Esposito made the pizza of national flag motifs of three colors: green-basil, white-Mozzarella, red-tomato. This became to call Pizza Margherita.
