guys, margherita is mozzarella and tomato sauce (with a leaf of basil on top if you want to be fancy). isn't this a margherita? I'm italian, and I'm genuinely confused why you're all calling it a cheese pizza?

Nah a margherita pizza really refers to the sauce made to make the pizza that being margarita sauce. Usually topped with cheese and whole basil leaves sometimes with sliced tomatoes but that part isn't necessary. But a lot of other countries refer to it being just a plane cheese pizza with marinara sauce.
