Did you know that pizza actually started out as a “poor man’s food”? ๐๐คฏ
Back in the 18th century, the poorer folks in Italy used to throw together pizzas using just flatbread, tomatoes, and whatever leftover veggies they had laying around. The rich people absolutely hated it! ๐ซ
But fast forward to 1888, when the Queen of Italy, Margherita, was passing through town. She requested to try a pizza, so local bakers whipped up a special one just for her. ๐
The second she tasted it, the Queen was absolutely obsessed! And whatever the Queen loves is bound to become a massive trend. Because of that, this humble food blew up and quickly became famous all over the entire world. ๐โจ
