National Pizza Day 2024 in metro Phoenix: Your guide to deals, freebies and specials

Whether you prefer New York style or Chicago deep dish, on National Pizza Day you can celebrate with whatever slice your heart desires.

The modern birthplace of pizza is southwestern Italy’s Campania region, home to the city of Naples. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, immigrants from Naples started replicating their pizzas in New York and other American cities including Trenton, New Haven, Boston, Chicago and St. Louis according to History.com. This intrigued non-Neapolitans and non-Italians alike. Now a staple in the U.S., about 1 in 8 Americans eat pizza on any given day, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

To help you celebrate the cheesy, carby delight on National Pizza Day, local joints and national pizza chains around metro Phoenix are offering discounts, deals and freebies. Here are a few of the best.

Note: The specials below are available at participating locations nationwide unless stated otherwise. Some deals may require a mobile app, and most are while supplies last. Offers can vary by franchise, so check with your closest location.
