PEPPERONI PIZZA DAY | SEPTEMBER 20

On September 20th, Pepperoni Pizza Day recognizes the most popular pizza ever created. The day celebrates the pizza enjoyed by young and old alike.

#PepperoniPizzaDay

While pizza comes with many different toppings, pepperoni is the single most popular pizza. Whether you like your pizza Chicago Style or New York Style, thin and crispy or deep dish, top it with pepperoni!

According to legend, Raffaele Esposito created the first pizza in June of 1889. The Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, inspired the pizza maker so much, he created the pie-shaped delicacy. In the queen’s honor, he named it Pizza Margherita and topped the pizza with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. The colors represent the Italian flag.

When is National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day? Since then, pizza has evolved. It includes a multitude of toppings from anchovies and pineapple to sausage and bacon. However, pepperoni remains the most popular.

Italian-Americans developed the ever-popular topping through time-honored sausage-making techniques. Seasoned pork and beef sausage are smoked and cured. Once the product is ready to be sliced, it’s placed on a delicious pie and baked.

“...Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy...”

I always wondered where the name for margherita pizzas came from. I knew it couldn’t have anything to do with margaritas, the Mexican cocktail.

It was just a story to promote tourism. If I ever open a restaurant Im going to name a pizza the Trump and tell stories about the time he ordered one from me.

You could make each day a ‘special’ day, for example:

Monday - Sausage

Tuesday - Ham/Canadian Bacon

Wednesday - Double Cheese

Thursday - All Veggies

Friday - TACO PIZZA!

Etc.......................

It’s much like which spices you prefer when cooking. Pepperoni varies a lot with the meat or meats used, spicing, and process. Some people abhor pre-sliced, so buy stick pepperoni, and go through the hassle of peeling and slicing it.

The real aficionados make their own so they can savor every last bit.

The best way is to get different types and have a tasting. Maybe with cheese, crackers and wine.
