The first pizza was first created by chef Raffeale Esposito in Naples, Italy in the late 1880s. Flat breads called "pizzas" were popular in Italy through the 1800s but were not topped with anything. Esposito formalized the pizza by making a pizza topped with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil for Italian Queen Margherita in 1889, which became one of the queen's favorite dishes.
