It’s National Pizza Day. The one day a year where we can eat as many slices of pizza as we want and no one will judge us. But it doesn’t have to be just a day for eating a lot of carbs and cheese, and it can also be a day for community building and team bonding.

What Is National Pizza Day?
National Pizza Day is on February 9th each year. This day was created by celebrating the first pizza made in America. On this day, it’s customary to enjoy some delicious pizza while remembering all the things that make it so great.
The History of National Pizza Day
According to the website Pizza.com, there are conflicting beliefs about how National Pizza Day started. One theory suggests that October is the third month of 12 months in a year, and it’s the ninth day of the month, so it just makes sense that it would be National Pizza Day on October 9th.
Another theory is that back in 1997, two sisters from Ohio were having a party for their dad because he was turning 48 years old. The girls wanted to make their dad feel special, so they served his favorite dish: pizza. They celebrated this event by calling it “National Pizza Day,” and now people all over America celebrate this day with their family or friends to express gratitude for them.
