National Pizza Day Celebrated with Initiatives, Discounts in New Haven

National Pizza Day, celebrated on February 9, has sparked various initiatives across the U.S., particularly in Connecticut, which has been proclaimed the 'Pizza State.' Leaders in New Haven announced the creation of a Connecticut Pizza Trail, inviting public voting to identify the top 100 pizzerias in the state, alongside a new art installation celebrating pizza culture. The event coincides with Super Bowl LIX, leading local establishments like Bar to promote New Haven's unique pizza, known for its thin crust. Additionally, Avelo Airlines is offering discounted flights to New Haven, reinforcing its status as the 'Pizza Capital of America.' In the UK, The Seafood Bar and Santa Maria are collaborating to introduce a limited-edition Lobster Thermidor Pizza, available for two weeks starting on National Pizza Day. These celebrations highlight the diverse ways pizza is honored and enjoyed across different regions.
