National Sausage Pizza Day

Every year on October 11, gourmets across the country celebrate National Sausage Pizza Day. During this holiday, you should definitely try pizza with sausage, complementing it with mushrooms, various cheeses, and other toppings. You can also experiment with types of sausage in pizza, as there’s now a huge variety of variations to choose from.

History

This national day falls on Pizza Month, making it an extra special occasion for celebration. Sausage has been used in pizza for a very long time, and Italian sausages are almost as popular as their sister, pepperoni sausage. Classic variations include beef sausage, chicken sausage, and pork sausage. Modern chefs have added their own spin to the recipe, resulting in the availability of sausages with apple, fennel, garlic, red pepper, cheese, black pepper, and other ingredients. It’s not surprising that sausage pizza is considered as ancient as pizza itself.
