National Cheese Pizza Day is celebrated on September 5th each year and is a day to honour the classic cheese pizza. This day offers an opportunity to indulge in the simplicity of a baked flatbread topped with a mix of tomato sauce and herbs, covered in a blanket of cheese. Interestingly, pizza was originally an Italian peasant’s dish before it gained popularity. In the United States, it was mainly Italian immigrants that ate pizza until World War II when it gained widespread recognition. To celebrate this day, local pizzerias and food establishments may offer special discounts and enticing deals such as buy-one-get-one-free offers, family meal deals, creative pizza combos, or even make-your-own pizza offerings using various cheeses like gouda, feta, gruyere, or goat’s cheese in addition to classic mozzarella.
