National
Pepperoni Pizza Day
Thursday, September 20th
 |
| National Pepperoni Pizza Day |
According to legend, Raffaele Esposito created the first pizza in 1889 in honor of the Queen of Italy, Margherita of
Savoy. A pizza topped with tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella represented
the colors of the Italian flag was aptly named Pizza Margherita.
While pizza
might be most heavily associated with the Italians, pepperoni pizza is purely
American. Served on more than a third of American pizza orders, it’s safe to
say that pepperoni is America’s Sweetheart.
September 20th is a day set aside
to pay homage to the most popular pizza ever created…Pepperoni Pizza! So get the
invitations in the mail…cause you’re throwing a Pizza Party!

Rather than
call up your favorite Pizza Parlor, considering Throwing a “Make Your Own Mini
Pizza” Party and create a DIY Mini Pizza Bar where all of your friends and family can come together to
celebrate.
What You Will Need:
Pizza Dough
Pizza Sauce
Toppings (cheese, tomatoes,
olives, mushrooms, onions, and of course, Pepperoni)
You can always make your own Light and Fluffy Pizza Dough, but if you don’t have time for that, don't worry, you can purchase ready made Pizza Dough or even use Pre-Made Pizza
Crusts.

And no celebration would be complete without a
cake!...a Pizza Cake that is! This simple recipe for a layered pepperoni pizza
cake is sure to be a hit. It’s just a layer of pizza, topped with another
layer of pizza, topped with another layer of pizza, and all wrapped up in Pillsbury dough. Yes…we
know…it sounds delicious.
