National Sausage Pizza Day Date in the current year: October 11, 2024

The classic Italian pizza, Pizza Margherita, is topped with three ingredients: tomato, basil, and mozzarella. However, not all pizza varieties are so minimalistic. Many people like their pizza topped with sausage. Pepperoni is believed to be the most popular pizza topping in the United States, and pepperoni is a type of sausage similar to salami. Italian sausage is also often used as a pizza topping.

To celebrate the National Sausage Pizza Day, you can go out to your favorite pizza restaurant or order pizza and enjoy it while staying at home. You can also cook a tasty sausage pizza yourself and treat your family and friends.

In a skillet, heat 1 tbs olive oil. Add 1 finely sliced large red onion and 2 chopped garlic cloves. Fry until softened. Season 5 tbs tomato purée with a pinch of pepper, salt, and sugar. Cut 2 sausages into thin slices and grate 50 g cheese.
