On May 17 every year, the world honors Pizza Day – a day dedicated to one of the most popular and beloved dishes on the planet: Pizza. Not only is it a dish with the famous Italian flavor, but pizza is also a symbol of global connection, limitless creativity, and even... a part of cryptocurrency history.
📜 The interesting history of Pizza Day
Pizza Day has 2 main meanings:
1. A day to honor pizza – as a part of global culinary culture. Pizza originated from Naples (Italy), and from the late 19th century to now, it has spread across the world with thousands of variations: from the traditional Margherita pizza to modern versions with unique toppings.
2. May 22 is also Bitcoin Pizza Day – the day that marks the first commercial transaction using Bitcoin when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC in 2010. This milestone marks the beginning of cryptocurrency in real life.
🌍 Pizza – The universal language of the globe
From New York to Tokyo, from Saigon to Milan, pizza is a dish that transcends all language and cultural barriers. No matter how it is prepared, pizza retains its core spirit: sharing, convenience, and creativity.
In the age of technology, even AI robots can make pizza, while users can order pizza with a single click. But the value of the first pizza shared with friends remains unchanged.
📢 Conclusion
Pizza Day is not only an occasion to enjoy delicious food but also a reminder that the simplest things – like a pizza – can become a great symbol if we know how to appreciate and share.
So today, whether you are enjoying traditional cheese pizza or trying a Vietnamese-style seafood pizza – let's raise a glass, share a slice, and celebrate Pizza Day! 🍕
