National Pizza Month

It was first observed in the US during October 1984. The observance was thought up by Gerry Durnell from Santa Claus, Indiana and the founder of Pizza Today magazine. It is also observed throughout much of Canada.

The US has about 63,000 pizzerias and 94% of Americans eat pizza at least once a month. About three billion pizzas are sold in the United States every year, plus an additional one billion frozen pizzas. That works out to about 100 acres of pizza per day, or 350 slices per second.
