Tuesday, Sept. 20 is National Pepperoni Day 2022, and many pizza chains are celebrating by offering deals for customers.
Traditional pepperoni pizza is made with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni, which is typically a spicy salami made from cured pork and beef and seasoned with paprika.
"Pepperoni" comes from an Italian word for large peppers, such as bell peppers, Mariani told the newspaper. He added that the first reference to pepperoni in print was in 1919 — when U.S. pizzerias and Italian butcher shops began to flourish. But Colin Caplan, a historian and author of books like "New Haven Apizza," said Americans’ love for pizza and pepperoni. Caplan told Thrillist he found the first evidence of pepperoni as a pizza topping in 1950 from a photo of a wall menu at a pizzeria named The Spot in New Haven, Connecticut.
Now, about two-thirds of American adults say their favorite topping is pepperoni, followed by sausage , mushrooms , extra cheese , and onions , according to a 2021 poll by public opinion and data companyKreskin Torres, a 33-year-old Army veteran, kicked off his adventure in Los Angeles, California, and since then, he has visited 49 states. Soon, he will fly to Honolulu, Hawaii, and rent a car to achieve his 50-state milestone.
Given this love for pepperoni, many pizza chains are offering freebies and discounts in honor of the day. BJ’s is celebrating National Pepperoni Pizza Day by offering a large pizza for half-price. Customers can get any large deep-dish or tavern-cut pizza for half off when ordering takeout by using the code "HALFOFF." California Pizza Kitchen is offering a deal for all reward members. Newly registered users can receive a coupon for $5 off and a free small plate with purchase.
