Pizza, even in its humble origins, was already a fast food. The pizza boxes of García de Pou, in their basic design, are illustrated with the green, white and red colours. Of course, these are the colours of the Italian flag! Is it coincidence that the margherita pizza also have these colours?
To whet your appetite, here are some facts about pizzas. Today’s trusty pizza was officially born in Naples during the 17th century. It is said that a baker started the first workshop of pizzas purely dedicated to making pizzas, in order to be sold in the street. Youngsters would then put them on round plates and carry them on their heads, announcing its ingredients to passer-by. These specialised kitchens gave birth to the concept of our modern pizzeria.

The Queen liked the pizzas so much that she wrote a letter of thanks to the famous pizzaiolo (pizza baker). His reply to her was the naming of the pizza that he had designed with the colours of the Italian flag “Margherita”.
