However, research shows that cherry-sized tomatoes originated as a wild species in Ecuador about 80,000 years ago. These little tomatoes are the forerunners of the big tomatoes. It eventually evolved into the primary component of the three ingredients that made up the first recognised pizza in the early 19th century, the Margarita Pizza, which was invented in Naples, Italy. The "pizza" was made in the Queen's honour and had mozzarella cheese for the colour white, basil for the colour green, and tomato sauce for the colour red to represent the Italian flag.
