National Pizza Day occurs each year on February 9, and the best way to celebrate the holiday involves indulging in good pizza. In the Greater Dallas area, Partenope Ristorante offers authentic Neapolitan pizza to pay homage to what has become an extremely popular American favorite.
History of National Pizza Day
Pizza wasn’t known outside of Italy until after World War II. Originally created in Rome, this dish of flatbread covered with layers of cheese, herbs, and sauce was nothing like our modern pizza. The pizza we know and love today was developed in Naples in the 18th century and included garlic, basil, cheese, and tomatoes in its topping. An inexpensive food that could be consumed quickly, it was popular in southwestern Italy’s Campania region, to which Naples belongs, among the working poor.
Brought to the United States by Italian immigrants, pizza quickly became a sought-after treat. The first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by a gentleman named Gennaro Lombardi in New York City, and that pizzeria is still in operation today.
The exact date on which National Pizza Day was first celebrated is somewhat a mystery, but today, it is a time of recognizing one of our favorite foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, with over 3 billion pizzas sold each year in the US alone.
