National Pizza Week Deals, Specials In Connecticut

NEW HAVEN, CT — Connecticut residents never need a reason to enjoy a slice of pizza. We know that New Haven is the pizza capital of the world and the best pizza in the United States is at Pepe's, according to the recent Daily Meal best pizza rankings. Nine Connecticut locations made the top 100 list, according to the Daily Meal.

So we have a lot to celebrate this week as its National Pizza Week, which runs from now through Jan. 19. Yes we know it is a made-up holiday without historical context, but who cares? It's an excuse to eat pizza on the cheap in Connecticut, where several pizzerias are offering special deals.

The — OK, we're just going to say this straight out here — fake holiday is always observed on the week beginning with the second Sunday in January. Don't confuse it with National Pizza Day, another holiday made up for the express purpose of selling pies. That's on Feb. 9. And National Pizza Month is observed in October.
