4 ways to celebrate National Pizza Day

Order in for a classic pizza party

From children's birthday parties to office lunches, is there any occasion where a pizza party isn't a hit?

Celebrate national pizza day with some steaming-hot pies ordered in from your favourite pizza places. Get all the classics like pepperoni, capricciosa, vegetarian, and, of course, margherita pizza.

Serve up a funky pizza lunch

Shake things up get all the non-traditional forms of pizza! We're thinking:

• Dessert pizza: A sweeter crust, spread with Nutella and covered in toppings such as strawberry and banana slices
• Turkish pizza: Flatbread covered in toppings such as chopped vegetables, mince, sujuk (sausage) and cheese. You may know this one as a pide, which is often referred to as "Turkish pizza" but is really in a category of it's own!
• Sushi pizza: A "crust" of seaweed, a base of rice and topped with fish, avocado and completed with a roll to hold it all together!

Mix it up with a strange toppings pizza party

When it comes to pizza outside of Italy, there are no rules as to what you can and can't put on your pies.

Around the world there's plenty of curious things that are put on pizza including corn, canned tuna, coconut and even caviar!

But of course, there's one that's more divisive than all the rest. So, whether or not added pineapple belongs on pizza is up to you.
