Pepperoni Pizza Day

" the first time the word pizza came into use was in the 16th-Century, describing a food thought fit only for peasants. That was until 1889, when Raffaele Esposito presented the Queen consort of Italy a “Pizza Margherita”, flatbread topped with basil, mozzarella, and tomatoes, colors and flavors selected to represent the Italian Flag. After being served to nobility, the future of the pizza was set and it quickly became one of the most popular foods around the world."
