National Pizza With Everything (Except Anchovies) Day

Today is the official day to order your pizza with the works...everything except anchovies! Pizza has been part of the European diet since the Stone Age when it was baked beneath the stones of the fire. Though it was first created by the Greeks, it was the Italians who truly made it famous. Italian pizza chefs often season their flat bread pizzas with a variety of different toppings.

National Pizza With Everything (Except Anchovies) Day celebrates all of the different toppings you can put on your pizza to suit your own tastes and preferences. And though having fish on pizza isn't the worst thing in the world, the strong salty flavor of anchovies masks all of the other delicious toppings on your pizza. So order your pizza today with all your favorite toppings, but keep it anchovy-free!
