The Wrong Margherita Pizza

Margherita pizza, known as cheese pizza in the U.S., is undeniably one of the most iconic and beloved Italian dishes worldwide. However, what many people are unaware of is the existence of an alternative version of this delicacy known as the "Wrong Margherita" or "Margherita sbagliata" in Italian.

The "Wrong Margherita" sets itself apart from the classic version through a unique flavor inversion. While the traditional Margherita features tomato, mozzarella, basil, and olive oil, the "Wrong Margherita" showcases buffalo mozzarella as the main ingredient, followed by tomato, Genovese Pesto, basil, and olive oil.

Despite the polarization of opinions, the "Wrong Margherita" managed to gain its own niche of fans who appreciated the unique balance of inverted flavors.
