World Pizza Day

🍕

Welcome to a world where the only thing better than the Earth’s round shape is the round shape of pizza!
So put on your stretchy pants, grab your favorite toppings, and let’s get ready to honor the one food that truly has a pizza our heart.

What is World Pizza Day?

World Pizza Day began as a national holiday in Italy, but it quickly spread worldwide because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love pizza? It’s also been called “Pizza Pie Day” because, well, pizza is kind of like a pie, but not really. We’ll get to that in a minute.

What Makes Pizza Different From Pies?

While pizza and pies may look similar, they are not the same.
Pies are typically sweet and filled with fruit or cream, while pizza is a savory dish topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and an array of delicious toppings.
However, the crust on a pizza is somewhat similar to a pie crust, so we can understand why people get them confused.

The Origin of World Pizza Day

The origin of World Pizza Day is shrouded in mystery, but we like to think that it was created by a group of pizza enthusiasts who wanted an excuse to eat pizza every year without feeling guilty. Who can blame them? Pizza is delicious!

World Pizza Day is celebrated on February 9th every year. It’s the perfect time to break out your favorite pizza recipe and celebrate this amazing food.

Celebrating World Pizza Day

There are plenty of ways to celebrate World Pizza Day. You can make your own pizza at home, order in from your favorite pizzeria, or even have a pizza party with friends and loved ones. Don’t forget to invite your pets to the table if you’re celebrating alone – they won’t judge you for eating an entire pizza by yourself.

If you’re celebrating with loved ones, consider having a pizza-making contest or a blind taste test. First and foremost, it’s important to gather everyone together in one place. Whether that means a cozy night in with your roommates or a raucous party with your extended family, the key is to surround yourself with people who love pizza as much as you do.
Try out new toppings or pizza styles that you’ve never had before.
Just make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand!

Once you’re all assembled, it’s toppings-time!
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box – after all, pizza is a blank canvas just waiting for your culinary masterpiece. Be sure to have a healthy dose of extra cheese. Cheese should be a layer, not mere sprinkles.

Of course, no pizza party would be complete without a few good beverages to wash it down with.
Some would recommend a nice cold beer or a crisp glass of Pinot Noir, others would say a Shiraz. But the truth about drinks is that it’s personal taste. In case of doubt, an ice cold glass of water with or without bubbles is always a good match!

If you’re on a budget, don’t worry! You can still celebrate World Pizza Day without breaking the bank.
Make your own pizza at home, or take advantage of the many pizza deals that are available at your local pizzeria.

If you want to celebrate lavishly, consider going all out with a pizza party complete with a pizza oven and a variety of toppings. You can also splurge on gourmet pizza toppings like truffles or caviar. Just remember to share with your friends!

Making Your Own Pizza

If you want to make your own pizza, don’t be intimidated. Making pizza is easy, fun, and a great way to impress your friends. Just make sure to follow the recipe closely and be careful when handling hot pizza stones.

Safety Tips

Finally, a word of caution: pizza can be dangerous!
Be careful when handling hot pizza stones, and make sure to use oven mitts or a pizza peel when removing pizzas from the oven.
Pizza cutters are sharp. They should be sharp so watch your fingers and table surface.
In case of doubt, you can cut pizza with scissors. Scissors work really good on pizza. Just wash them before and after cutting.
Use goat cheese or plant-based cheese when you are lactose intolerant.
Throw any raisins and brussels sprouts out the door because they shouldn’t be anywhere near pizza.
And of course, be sure to chew carefully to avoid choking hazards.

Conclusion: Celebrate World Pizza Day With Gusto!

And finally, don’t forget to savor every bite. Pizza is more than just a food – it’s a cultural touchstone, a culinary masterpiece, and a symbol of all that is good and right in the world.
So go ahead and indulge in your favorite pizza, whether it’s deep dish, thin crust, or anything in between. After all, on World Pizza Day, calories don’t count.
As long as you’re having fun and not hurting anyone, you have our permission to enjoy this holiday to the fullest!
