The pizza marinara has ancient origins, even more than the pizza margherita. His name is misleading many people who imagine a pizza with seafood, but is not so.

The ingredients with which it is prepared today, have remained the same with which was prepared many years ago. Tomato, garlic, oil, a pinch of salt, oregano and a few leaves of fresh basil.

Today it is still one of the few pizza that is prepared without mozzarella or other cheese. History tells us that they were just the sailors to ask the bakers of the time this type of pizza, to take with them to the outputs at sea daily, for its excellent preservation properties, and in honor of the sailors was rightly called the pizza sailors "marinara".
