World Pizza Day
ODAY IS WORLD PIZZA Day! Not to be confused with INTERNATIONAL PIZZA DAY, which is July 1st. I guess it's kind of like the difference between Miss Universe and Miss Galaxy (there actually is a Miss Galaxy pageant).
From webindia123.com:
The city of Naples, Italy Tuesday prepared to kick off its 11th annual Pizzafest with the first ever World Pizza Day.
Thursday's celebration will draw pizza-makers and lovers from all over the world, including Neapolitans returning from the United States, Australia and Japan, ANSA reports.
The annual festival turns out hundreds of pizzas as it seeks the best Neopolitan pizza maker, ANSA said. This year's celebration will also include a bigger-than-ever exhibit on the history of Naples' most famous export.
Neapolitan Pizza Association President Antonio Pace said his association has no objection to pizzas being made around the world, as long as they respect the rules, ANSA said.
But to know if a pizza tastes as it should, it's better to try it at least once in Naples so you can compare it with those being produced elsewhere, he added.
