Not really. Maybe in the UK, but definitely not in the rest of Europe.

Nein? Wenn man hier eine Margherita bestellt bekommt man auch eine echte Margherita, nur mit Mozzarella, Tomatensauce und Basilikum. In was für Pizzerien gehst du denn bitte?

Definitely is in a lot of European countries. Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, France... In fact, I've never seen it called anything else.

It is. Margherita is literally just cheese pizza. Here in Finland it is and other countries too.

Margarita is a certain type of cheese pizza, true.

You wouldn’t believe the amount of restaurants I see in the US that offer “margarita” and it’s literally just a cheese pizza. Or sometimes it will be a cheese pizza with DICED tomatoes on it. Maybe add some dried basil. Sometimes you can get actual sliced tomatoes added.

Not to say you can’t find a real traditional margarita here, it’s usually just at more upscale/specialty/expensive pizza restaurants.
