Thursday marks National Cheese Pizza Day 2024.
Each September 5 is dedicated to cheese pizza. Though widely acknowledged, the origin of the day is unknown, according to National Day Calendar, the company that tracks celebratory days and works with other companies, brands and organizations to get days recognized.
Pepperoni pizza gets love later this month, on Sept. 20, and sausage pizza is feted on Oct. 11. National Pizza Day is Feb 9, while National Pizza Month is October. Go figure.
These Kentucky shops are primo places to visit to hold the toppings on National Cheese Pizza Day.
