One of Naples’ oldest pizzerias, Antica Pizzeria Brandi, has been serving pies for nearly 250 years—and it’s tied to one of Italy’s most iconic food legends. In 1889, Queen Margherita of Savoy visited Naples, and the pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito created a simple pizza in her honor: tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Those colors mirrored the new Italian flag, and the “Pizza Margherita” was born.
This Short highlights the origin story behind Italy’s most famous pizza, the history of Naples’ culinary traditions, and why Brandi remains a symbol of Neapolitan identity. Perfect for viewers who love Italian food culture, historic eateries, and the stories behind legendary dishes.
