Margherita Pizza or just base with cheese (cannot imagine the latter)? Margherita makes sense for plain pie in more places around the world.

- navbaker 5y agoTypically in the US, a margherita pizza is a very specific combo of cheese, tomatoes, and basil on top. Very different from just a plain cheese pizza.
- tluyben2 5y agoWhat is on a plain cheese pizza? Not only cheese I hope? In the pictures it looks like there is tomato sauce but I have never particularly ordered a 'plain cheese pizza' in the US; I only ordered with toppings.
- rascul 5y agoSauce and cheese.
- navbaker 5y agoI know there are regional differences in “pizza expectations”, but typically a cheese pizza is crust->tomato sauce->cheese. A margherita pizza would add sliced or diced fresh tomatoes and chopped fresh basil leaves on top of that stack.
- tluyben2 5y agoI have never seen diced fresh tomatoes on a margherita so I guess regional is right!
