Celebrating National Pizza Party Day on Blurt 🍕 🇮🇹

One of the biggest Holidays of the year here on Blurt.

National Pizza Party Day.

And Also my Birthday.

So it’s the greatest Day ever. Lol

My favourite Pizza of all time is the simple Margherita pizza.

Tomato sauce, basil and fresh Mozzarella.

Margherita pizza gets its name from Queen Margherita of Savoy, who was the Queen consort of Umberto I. It was once during her visit to Naples that the dish came into being. The story goes that the Queen was tired of eating French food all the time, as it was the cuisine of choice among the European royalty.

I’m not from Napoli or Savoy but Calabria … so close enough.

Having a blast on National Pizza Party Day is no pie-in-the-sky idea. Pizza’s the very definition of a good time and your May 20 options are plentiful. Whip up something at home or head out to a wild pizza place for food and fun on the third Friday in May.

Pizza is the eternal food. It has existed before Time.

Although mainly thought of as an Italian dish, pizza has seemingly existed forever. The ancient Greeks used to flavor their flatbread with oils, herbs, and cheese, while Persian soldiers used to bake their own pizzas on the hot surfaces of their shields. Traditional pizza is also known as Neapolitan pizza, and it originates—as the name suggests—from Naples, around the middle of the 16th century.

Italian immigrants later introduced the dish to their new American compatriots, and eventually, pizza became the savory crowd-pleaser we know it to be today.
