We give you some suggestions for how to celebrate it. The day chosen is May 20th.
The “Pizza party day”, a little history
As we said, a specific day of the week was chosen to celebrate the "Pizza party day". And that is Friday, the day par excellence that everyone awaits when opening the weekend. Anticipate Saturday, for many workers a day of rest, and you can stay in company until late in the evening, perhaps eating our favorite food. So what to do? We are in spring, the pandemic seems to have given some respite. And then we can come back to meet and prepare our favorite pizzas. So the third Friday of May is the "Pizza party day".
The day was conceived a few years ago. It was born above all on social networks and has become, thanks to the tam tam of the network, an event celebrated all over the world. In fact, everyone is ready to take pictures, at home or in a pizzeria, in front of their favorite pizza. And above all to share the most particular images on social networks, with the hashtag #PizzaPartyDay!
The pizza, the many specialties in the world
And then we too are ready to celebrate this typically Italian dish. According to some, it was born in the times of the Greeks, when the bread was covered with aromatic herbs, oil and cheese. Or by the Romans who kneaded the flour and then added honey, cheese and even bay leaves to the preparation. What its true origin is, it doesn't matter. Also because for Italians the best pizza is undoubtedly the Neapolitan one. Whether it's a Margherita, a Capricciosa, or a Marinara, tastes change but the result is always tasty. And also we at italiani.it have often promoted institutional events, throughout the peninsula or in other cities of the world to celebrate this specialty.
The 2022 edition of the "Pizza party day"
So are you ready to celebrate pizza? You can meet in your favorite pizzeria or at home. A suggestion, for those who choose to prepare this specialty at home, is to think about the dough a few days in advance. Because as many pizza chefs suggest, pizza is really good and above all digestible, if it is prepared 24 to 36 hours before cooking it.. And then space for the imagination on condiments: there are those who prefer to taste it only with tomato, mozzarella and a basil leaf, or those who prefer to enrich it with other typical local products.
But be careful not to overdo it: many cry out to scandal when they find the one made with pineapple in the menus of some pizzerias. In short, there is something for all tastes, even for the most extravagant ones. Are you ready to party then? But let's not forget to share the images of our favorite pizza on social networks. So we will have given our contribution to the "Pizza party day".
