While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza，it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.In fact，a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal(原型的) pizza，Pizza Margherita，was invented in 1890，when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte asked the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.Of the three different pizzas he created，the Queen strongly preferred a pie wrapped in the colors of the Italian flag: red(tomato)，green(basil)，and white(mozzarella)．Supposedly，this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita. Later，the dish has become popular in many parts of the world： ●The first pizzeria，Antica Pizzeria PortAlba，was opened in 1830 in Naples. ●In North America，the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City. ●The first Pizza Hut，the chain of pizza restaurants appeared in the United States in 19
