Key risk: Pizza margherita is wheat and dairy — both major allergens. The Neapolitan tradition is simple and honest: flour, tomato, mozzarella. The only complexity is that 'mozzarella' in Italy means fior di latte (cow's milk) unless specified as 'di bufala' (buffalo milk, still dairy). Pizza marinara (tomato, garlic, oregano, no cheese) is the dairy-free alternative.
