Here’s where in the Valley to celebrate National Pepperoni Pizza Day

PHOENIX — If you wish for multiple days in a month to celebrate pizza, you’re in luck.

Friday is National Pepperoni Pizza Day, celebrating the thin circles of meat that make up the dish’s most popular topping.

Earlier this month, the nation honored a simpler pie on National Cheese Pizza Day.

If you’re vegetarian or vegan, you can still take part in this week’s occasion. Some grocery stores and restaurants offer meatless pepperoni made from a blend of tofu or wheat gluten and spices.

Check out the gallery above for some spots in the Valley to satisfy your cravings.
