Happy National Pizza Day! 🍕
Join in and indulge in your own piece-a-pizza. National Pizza Day is celebrated every year on February 9th, a fun unofficial holiday dedicated to one of the world's most beloved foods: PIZZA! Originating in Naples, Italy, pizza evolved from simple flatbreads to the melty, cheesy, saucy delight we know today.
It arrived in the U.S. with Italian immigrants, with the first pizzeria (Lombardi's in New York City) opening in 1905. The modern National Pizza Day began around 2000, though its exact creator is unknown. Americans devour about 23 pounds of pizza per person annually, with billions sold worldwide.
Today, many chains offer deals, freebies, and specials to encourage indulgence in every style—from thin crust to deep-dish. Whether homemade or delivery, it's the perfect excuse to enjoy a slice (or more)!
Abondanza! 🍕
