History of National Pizza Week

Let it be known that Americans love Pizza. No matter what time of the day or night it is, if you need a pizza, you will get a pizza. This is how much Americans are crazy about pizza. So let’s delve into the history of early Egyptians and the Greeks, who perhaps made the first pizza. For them, pizza used to be a flatbread topped with olive oil and some herbs and spices. It was not until the formation of the Roman Empire when Roman armies entered Greece and Egypt and adopted some of their cuisines and made them their own. In the very heart of the Roman Empire, in Rome, early Romans made their own pizza, which was a modification of the original pizza recipe. The consumption of pizza continued with little to no change in its recipe for years, up until we entered modern times when the world was bleeding from the second world war.

During the occupation of Italy by the Allied Forces, American soldiers stationed in Italy ate lots of Italian food, but the one they really loved was their pizza. When the war ended they brought the recipe with them and so the American pizza was created. Before this, only the Italian immigrants in the U.S. used to eat pizza, along with a few others who worked with the Italians.

The 1950s saw a boom in pizza consumption as the newly brought pizza recipe spread to the masses, so much so that every street in the country had a pizza stall. From there onwards to today, there are reports which say that 350 slices of pizza are eaten every second. This means 40 pizzas are consumed every second. Going into a full-day analysis would simply be mind-boggling, but yes, it is true that pizza is heavily consumed in the U.S.

With such love and passion, it is hard to not have a dedicated calendar event for this marvelous thing, and so we have an entire week to celebrate it. National Pizza Week is celebrated every year in January, and it has been here and will stay here for as long as there are pizza lovers in this country. We salute the unknown originator of this awesome week.
