Enjoy the timeless classic at Pranzo Italiano - our Margherita Pizza represents the pinnacle of Neapolitan pizza-making. Featuring San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, fragrant basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on our hand-stretched dough. Simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious - perfect for birthday parties, family gatherings, and any occasion.
Our Margherita Pizza pays homage to the classic Neapolitan pizza that was created in Naples to honour Queen Margherita of Italy. The colours of the pizza - red tomatoes, white mozzarella, and green basil - represent the Italian flag. At Pranzo Italiano, we honour this tradition with authentic ingredients and time-tested techniques.
We start with our house-made dough, allowed to proof for the perfect amount of time to develop flavour and the ideal texture. The base is spread with our San Marzano tomato sauce, topped with fresh mozzarella that melts into creamy perfection, finished with fragrant basil leaves and a drizzle of premium extra virgin olive oil.
The secret to our Margherita Pizza lies in the quality of ingredients and attention to detail. We use San Marzano tomatoes for their sweet flavour and low acidity, fresh mozzarella for its creamy texture, and hand-stretch each dough ball to order. The result is a pizza with a perfectly crispy yet chewy crust and toppings that sing with fresh Italian flavours.
Our Margherita Pizza is a crowd-pleaser that's perfect for birthday parties, family dinners, and casual gatherings. One of our customers raved about how we "made the best pizza for their son's birthday" - we take pride in making every pizza special. Order for dine-in, takeout, or catering for your next event.

"This is what authentic Italian pizza should taste like! The dough is perfect - crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. The fresh mozzarella and basil make all the difference. Finally found real pizza in SE Calgary!"
