Ristorante Lombardo Margherita Price

The Margherita is a classic Neapolitan-style pizza from Ristorante Lombardo. The pizza is made with San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). The price for the Margherita is between $12.50 and $13.00.

Ristorante Lombardo creates the Margherita pizza with a stretched dough base, which is topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves. The pizza is baked at a high temperature until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melted, then finished with a drizzle of EVOO. This method creates the fresh, simple flavors characteristic of this classic pizza, a quality often emphasized in Ristorante Lombardo Margherita reviews.

The Margherita pizza at Ristorante Lombardo can be compared to the version served at Pastaria. The distinction in Lombardo's version is its place within a traditional, third-generation Italian restaurant known for its upscale atmosphere. The pizza's clean flavors pair well with a simple green salad or a glass of light-bodied Italian red wine.

The Margherita pizza was created in Naples in the late 1800s and was named for Queen Margherita of Savoy. The ingredients famously represent the colors of the Italian flag. Ristorante Lombardo, part of a family of restaurants serving the St. Louis area for over 90 years, continues this tradition of authentic Italian cuisine. The family immigrated from Sicily in the early 1900s and has since become a favorite dining spot for many St. Louisans.
