Year 3 and 4 students enjoyed a delicious cultural celebration in their Italian classes with Pizza Day! While enjoying a slice of Pizza Margherita, they learned about the history behind one of the world's most loved foods. According to tradition, Pizza Margherita was created by renowned Neapolitan pizza chef Raffaele Esposito in honour of Queen Margherita of Savoy. He topped the pizza with tomato, mozzarella and basil, representing the colours of the Italian flag: red, white and green. The pizza quickly became a favourite throughout Italy and remains one of the most popular pizzas around the world today.
