We eat pizza a lot. When I was pregnant, I couldn’t cook much, I had severe hyperemesis, and my husband doesn’t cook much. So, we ordered pizza a lot. Margherita Pizza became one of our favorite pizzas.
What is a Margherita Pizza Recipe?
A traditional Margherita pizza is made with mozzarella, tomatoes, often fresh tomatoes, and fresh basil. It is considered an artisan pizza.
Homemade Pizza Crust
When you are making Margherita Pizza, I always recommend making your own pizza crust. My homemade pizza crust is so easy to make, that my daughter was helping to make it when she was 4. It is the perfect addition to making my Margherita Pizza Recipe. Once you make it yourself, you’ll never want store-bought pizza dough again.
Variations to Margherita Pizza Recipe & Homemade Pizza Crust
- If you like chicken on your Margherita PIzza, you can certainly add it to this pizza. Use shredded chicken breast. I like to add leftover chicken to this or, if I don’t have any, cook the chicken breast first and then add it to the pizza.
