Pizza Margherita – A Classic Italian Experience at Villa Romana
Pizza Margherita at Villa Romana is more than just a dish – it is a celebration of Italian food culture in its purest form. At Kungsbroplan 1 in Stockholm, we bake every authentic Margherita with the same passion and respect as the pizzaioli of Naples. Our wood-fired Margherita embodies the perfect balance between simple, high-quality ingredients and traditional craftsmanship. Every bite brings you closer to the feeling of sitting in a small pizzeria along the cobbled streets of Naples.
The History Behind the Margherita Pizza
In 1889, pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito created a special pizza to honour Queen Margherita of Savoy during her visit to Naples. The ingredients were chosen to reflect the Italian flag – red San Marzano tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil. The queen was so delighted that the pizza was named after her. Since then, the Margherita has become a symbol of Italian pride and culinary excellence.
At Villa Romana, this classic recipe lives on – with the same precision and attention to detail as the Neapolitan masters.
What Makes Villa Romana’s Pizza Margherita Unique?
At our Italian restaurant in Kungsholmen, every pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven. The result is a thin and crispy base with a slightly smoky flavour, topped with juicy, fresh ingredients.
We always use:
- San Marzano tomatoes from Campania – rich and flavourful with low acidity
- Fresh fior di latte – a smooth and creamy mozzarella made from cow’s milk
- Fresh basil – for a fragrant aroma and vibrant colour
- Cold-pressed olive oil of the highest quality
When you order a wood-fired Margherita at Kungsholmen, you enjoy a taste experience that combines tradition, quality, and authentic Italian craftsmanship.
Simple Ingredients, Naturally Nutritious
A classic Margherita pizza (approx. 30 cm, 1/4 portion) contains on average:
- Protein: 15–18 g from mozzarella
- Carbohydrates: 35–40 g from the dough
- Fat: 10–14 g, mainly from olive oil and cheese
- Fibre: 3–4 g from the dough and tomatoes
- Rich in: calcium, vitamin C, and antioxidants
Our pizza dough is left to rise for a full 24 hours, which makes it easier to digest and gives it a more developed flavour.
Pizza Margherita Tastes Best With...
For a complete Italian experience, we recommend pairing your Margherita with something from our drinks menu:
- Red wine: A classic Chianti Classico or Montepulciano for a balance
- White wine or beer: Pinot Grigio or a cold Peroni Nastro Azzurro
- Non-alcoholic: Italian limonata or our mineral water infused with lemon and basil
