Buns? What's that white sauce on the side. As a long islander that pizza looks traditional and good, but it's not margarita.

Preach my Long Island brethren. That’s a large cheese and some sloppy pinwheels. All look delicious but incorrectly titled

That is a margarita. What's a margarita according to you? Here in Finland a margarita is just plain pizza with no topings.

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.

Well, here in Finland both restaurants and store bought frozen pizzas have margherita as just plain without toppings. But different strokes for different folks.

Yeah I know. I was just giving out the traditional definition of margherita pizza. Letting you know why it is what it is. Things change through adaptation of culture.

Fresh mozz, crushed tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil. Very similar to grandma but on a thin crust round pie
