Why is February 9th World Pizza Day?
February 9th is celebrated as Pizza Day in honor of one of the most popular and beloved dishes in the world. Although there is no consensus on the exact reason for this date, many believe that it was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the date when pizza was officially introduced internationally, or as a tribute to the cultural and gastronomic influence of Italy, the birthplace of modern pizza.
In Italy, on the other hand, World Pizza Day is celebrated on January 17, since on this date in 2017 UNESCO declared this dish as Intangible Heritage of Humanity, but whatever the reason, it is clear that pizza deserves a celebration.
It is important to mention that pizza has a longer history, with antecedents in ancient civilizations that already used flatbread with ingredients such as oil and herbs. However, pizza as we know it today originated in Naples, Italy, in the 18th century and became globally popular in the 20th century.
