Don’t they say that a lot of things “end up in pizza”? But what if, this time, you run out of pizza on a trip with family or friends? Celebrated on July 10th, Pizza Day is one of those dates that combine gastronomy, meetings and good stories. After all, few foods are as democratic as it. There are traditional flavors, sophisticated combinations, sweet versions and recipes that even help to tell a little about the history and culture of each destination. Pizza Day with strawberry pizza from Atibaia Disclosure In Brazil, the date gained strength from an initiative carried out in São Paulo, in 1985. That year, a competition promoted to choose the best pizzas in the city was so successful that July 10th began to be celebrated as Pizza Day. Over the years, the celebration went beyond the capital's pizzerias and spread across the country. Why is Pizza Day a special date? The date also moves restaurants, pizzerias and the gastronomic sector. Pizza is directly related to moments of coexistence. It is present in meetings between friends, at family dinners, at celebrations and even when traveling.
