National Day Calendar continues researching the origins of this ever-popular food holiday.
However, the mystery remains. One thing we do know is how to eat pizza. Do you?
Pizza FAQ
Q. Are all pizzas round?
A. No. Pizzas are also made into rectangles and squares.
Q. Do thing crusts have leavening agents in them?
A. Most thin crust pizza recipes call for some sort of leaving agent such as yeast or baking soda. There are recipes, however, that call for no leavening agent.
Q. Which is better, thin or thick crust?
A. It depends on a variety of factors and personal choice. Different toppings fair better on one type of crust versus another. Some sauces require a thicker, more durable crust.
IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! IT’S FINALLY HERE! NATIONAL PIZZA DAY!!!!!!!.....................PING!
Curious now if there is such a thing as a National PizzaGate Day.
I know of some elites that would celebrate it.
Have the stars aligned perfectly for me, or what?

Yay for pineapple on pizza!
(In before the pineapple haters.)
Cucumbers!
OMG! You must be a communist or something. Please don’t tell me that you like ketchup on your hotdog...
There are two pizza places that I really love. Growing up in Wisconsin in the 60s and 70s we used to order pizza from Tilley’s (in Beloit). Super thin crust, greasy and delicious. Whenever I go home for a visit we order (or go to) Tilley’s.
The second place, unfortunately, is no longer in business. It was Classic Pizza in Ridgecrest, California. It was a take-and-bake joint. They made their dough fresh every day, and they’d put on whatever toppings you wanted. The sauce was amazing, too. My wife and I would get it almost every Saturday afternoon while we were out shopping. It made for a great Saturday night treat while watching some movies.
Mom & Pop Pizzerias are the best pizzas.
National chains are the worst...................
Even left over, cheap, cold pizza is pretty good to me! I just gave up carbs and tried a cauliflower crust....YES, IT’S GREAT, TOO!
Pineapple... excellent!
Unauthorized vegetables, bad.
Please don’t tell me that you like ketchup on your hotdog...
Hot dogs?! The horrors! I was repelled by those vile little things as soon as I was old enough to eat one. As appetizing as bologna, so don't get me started.
😜 🤢
My FIRST pizza, circa 1965, was cold.
I was raised by my grandfather, in north Mississippi, about 75 miles from Memphis. I had never had pizza, but I had seen it on TV and wanted to try it. So I asked my mother to bring me some next visit. Having to drive 75 miles on 2 lane rural roads back then was time consuming, so by the time they got there it was cold. But to me it was delicious! So, to this day I love COLD PIZZA!................................
There are kosher hot dogs!
Hebrew National, among others......................
Lol- should be a contentious thread over which pizza reigns Supreme lol.
If we do buy a chain pizza, it’s Little Caesars................
