Original recipe for Pizza Marinita™ with mozzarella, garlic, chilli and basil. The best of Marinara meets Margherita. The Marinita is basically a Marinara with mozzarella and chili or a Margherita with garlic and chilli. The vegetarian Marinita combines the fine taste of the two classic Neapolitan pizzas. Only the finest buffalo mozzarella and sun-ripened San Marzano tomatoes are used. As a contrast in taste the Pizza Marinita is topped with fresh basil leaves and a pinch of Italian herbs after baking. The Marinita was - like some other new pizza creations - invented by Alexander Herder in the 21st century.
