At OakCraft, we’re passionate about honoring traditions—especially when they taste as timeless as a classic Margherita. While many restaurants experiment with endless toppings and fusion styles, the Margherita stands out for its pure simplicity and rich history. Its origin story takes us back to 1889 in Naples, Italy, where Queen Margherita of Savoy inspired a local pizzaiolo, Raffaele Esposito, to create a pizza in her honor. Using red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil to reflect the Italian flag, he unknowingly created a global phenomenon.
From Italy to the World
Following its royal debut, Margherita pizza began traveling far beyond Italy. Italian immigrants brought their culinary traditions to the Americas, Australia, and Europe. By the mid-20th century, this humble Neapolitan creation was popping up on menus across the world. People everywhere fell in love with its fresh ingredients, balanced flavor, and artisanal simplicity.
The Power of Simplicity
What has helped Margherita pizza remain relevant for over a century? Its secret lies in doing more with less. With just tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, and dough, the flavors shine through—each bite is bright, comforting, and unmistakably Italian!
At OakCraft, we take this simplicity seriously. Our Margherita is made with handcrafted dough, quality mozzarella, fresh basil, and a signature wood-fired bake that brings out deep, smoky flavor. It’s our way of respecting the craft and letting great ingredients speak for themselves.
A Pizza for the People
Today, Margherita pizza can be found everywhere—from casual food trucks to fine-dining restaurants. Its versatility and universal appeal make it a staple across culinary cultures. Whether enjoyed in Tokyo, New York, or right here at OakCraft, it brings people together over something familiar and delicious.
