Why is National Pepperoni Pizza Day celebrated?
Pizza arrived in the United States with Italian immigrants in the late 19th century. Over time, it adapted to local tastes until it became one of the most consumed fast foods. Pepperoni, a sausage created in the U.S. but inspired by European salamis, appeared in the early 20th century and quickly earned the title of “favorite topping.”
Celebrating this day is a way to honor tradition, culinary creativity, and the shared love for a flavorful slice. It’s no surprise that pepperoni remains the most-ordered topping at pizza chains nationwide.
