Fornino a famous pizzeria from Park Slope and Williamsburg opens up a location on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint. The menu reads it’s description Historical Approach to Pizza – “In 1830 the world’s first pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, opened its doors in Naples, and an industry was born. Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba is still in business, by the way. Fifty-Nine years later a pizzaiolo named Raffaele Esposito was invited to the Italian royal palace to make three pizzas for the visit of King Umberto and Queen Margherita of Savoy. The queen was apparently no dummy when it came to politics, so she declared her favorite pizza to be the one with the colors of the Italian flag, red (tomato), white (mozzarella cheese) and green (Basil). Thus Pizza Margherita was Born”.
Naples is the First Generation – Its where it all started, Italy is the Second Generation – Grop of Pizzas that have beenc reated in all different regions of Italy, Fornino states it is the Third Generation – Pizzas inspired and created by the master Pizziolas and staff of Fornino.
