SAY CHEESE! Celebrate National Cheese Pizza Day around Palm Beach County

The gooiest day of the year – National Cheese Pizza Day – is rolling into town on September 5.

One of the most popular dishes in the world, pizza dates back thousands of years, as flatbreads with toppings were common amongst ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. However, the modern pizza that we celebrate this September was born on the western coast of Italy.

Today, cheese pizza is the number one most ordered pizza ingredient in the United States, and for good reason. The classic dish pairs dough with sweet marinara sauce and creamy mozzarella cheese for a simple, reliable, and delectable taste.
