Fun fact: Did you know National Pizza Month was created by Pizza Today's founder Gerry Durnell in 1984 to commemorate the first issue of the magazine? The U.S. Congress officially designated October as National Pizza Month in 1987. Pizza Today goes big in October with the release of our coveted Hot 100 Independent Pizzerias. This year we added the largest gathering of pizzeria and Italian restaurant operators east of Las Vegas - Pizza and Pasta Northeast, at the Atlantic City Convention Center on October 17 and 18. Join 3,000 pizza and Italian restaurant professionals to exchange ideas, shop nearly 300 booths of pizzeria specific products and services, gain world-class instruction and compete for pizza or pasta titles.
