Margherita

Margherita has made a name for itself in Lebanon. What started as a narrow casual pizzeria in Gemmayzeh with iconic tomatoes piled in the window has blossomed into an array of outlets stretching as far north as Jounieh’s Old Souks. The Italian eatery serves Neapolitan fare reflecting authentic flavors of the South of Italy.

Margherita’s dough, fashioned from wheat flour, brewer’s yeast, salt, and water, is baked to a thin at the center and is thick and crispy at the outer rim. Makes for some ideal anti-slippage dynamics, so be sure you wolf it down sans fork and knife!
