Modern pizza was born in 1889 when Queen Margherita Teresa Giovanni, the consort of Umberto I, king of Italy, visited Naples. Don Raffaele Esposito, who owned a tavern-like place called Pietro Il Pizzaiolo, named it the Margherita Pizza, after the guest of honor. Thus, the modern-day tomato-and-cheese pizza was born.
