You’re probably used to getting takeaway（外卖）delivered（递送）to your home these days. Maybe you and your parents even order pizza sometimes. But the first pizza delivery in history took place nearly 150 years ago in Italy.

In 1878, Queen Margherita became the first queen of Italy. As the story goes, the queen grew tired of eating “fancy” meals and wanted to eat “common” food. Raffaele Esposito, the most famous pizza chef（厨师）at that time, was asked to deliver a pizza to the queen.

He prepared a pizza with tomatoes, cheese and basil—the red tomatoes, white cheese and green basil standing for the colors of Italy’s new national flag. As soon as the pizza was out of the oven, he quickly delivered it to the queen himself.

The queen had never eaten pizza before and said it was one of the best things she’d ever eaten. Esposito named the pizza after the queen, and it has been served in nearly every pizza restaurant in the world ever since.

Today, pizza remains one of the world’s most popular fast foods. In 1973, US pizza company Domino’s Pizza promised to deliver its pizzas in “30 minutes or less”—if the pizza was late, it would be free.
