Pizza is beloved worldwide, but the first pepperoni pizza, the most popular pie, officially appeared on the scene in New Haven, Connecticut's restaurant, The Spot, in 1950. True, it may have existed before this (most likely in New York City).
Pepperoni isn't an Italian old-world invention. Instead, it's the Italian-American version of salami and gets its red color from the spice paprika. The sausage first appeared during WWI in the delis of New York City's Little Italy, popularized by soldiers. The pepperoni was affordable to the working class, didn't require special handling, and tended to stay good for some time without refrigeration.
National Pepperoni Pizza Day has appeared on the internet over the past decade, and we cannot track the reason for September 20 as the date. However, pizza restaurants have embraced the day nationwide. Because of this, you'll find great deals on pepperoni pizza today, if not for the next week or month. The closest organization to a sponsor is Marco's Old World Pizza. The chain starts its 920 Movement on 9/20 and celebrates Pepperoni Pizza Day through Pizza Month in October with specials.
