The NFL is kicking off its 2024 season on Thursday, September 5. However, that’s not the only big occasion. It’s also National Cheese Pizza Day, a celebration that unites both sports enthusiasts and pizza lovers alike.

Pizza’s roots date back to 17th century Naples, Italy, and was brought to the United States by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s, according to a 2019 announcement from the National Park Service regarding a new exhibit at Ellis Island. Additionally, Americans devour over three billion pizzas annually.
