Every September 20th, fans across the country honor the spicy, salty topping that changed pizza forever.

A Slice of History: The Origins of Pepperoni Pizza

Pizza’s been around for centuries, but pepperoni? That’s a uniquely American twist.

After World War I, Italian-American butchers got creative with pork and beef scraps, adding spices and curing them into the first versions of what we now call pepperoni. It wasn’t long before that spicy salami found its forever home on top of a hot, cheesy pizza.

Fast forward to today, and you’ve got a topping so beloved it earned its own holiday.
