Had a taste for pizza for the last 4 days that went unfulfilled.
Finally, I made this "fast" clip to celebrate the event...
In 1889, during a visit to Naples, Queen Margherita of Italy was
served a pizza resembling the colors of the Italian flag, red
(tomato), white (mozzarella) and green (basil). This kind of pizza has
been named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita, as shown in this video
