National Cheese Pizza Day: A Slice of Life in Nassau County
National Cheese Pizza Day: A Slice of Life in Nassau County
September 5th is National Cheese Pizza Day, and if ever there was a holiday worth celebrating in Nassau County, this is it. Whether you fold it, eat it with a knife and fork (controversial, but we'll allow it), or just grab it straight out of the box on the hood of your car—cheese pizza is one of life's simple joys.
A Little History (Extra Cheese, Please)
The modern pizza as we know it—flatbread topped with tomato, mozzarella, and basil—was born in Naples, Italy in the late 1800s. It was a dish for the working class before it became an international obsession. In America, pizza first gained popularity in New York City in the early 1900s, where Italian immigrants introduced it to the masses.
And here's a fun Nassau County pizza fact: Did you know the very first Long Island pizzeria opened here in Nassau County back in the 1950s? Today, pizza shops are as essential here as bagel stores and diners—you can't walk more than a few blocks without running into a good one.
The "Best" Pizza Debate (Not Touching That with a Pizza Peel)
Look, we all know declaring the best pizza is basically asking for a food fight (and not the fun flour-dusted kind). Everyone has their loyalty—to the shop that fed them after soccer practice, the one by the train station, or the place that nails the perfect char. As your friendly neighborhood real estate agent, I'm staying out of that debate. I show homes, not referees' cards.
But I can tell you this: living in Nassau County means you have options, and that's a perk worth bragging about.
Top Port Washington Pizza Parlors (in no particular order)
To celebrate National Cheese Pizza Day, why not make it a Port Washington "Pizza Crawl"? Order a slice from each of these top-rated spots and crown your personal champion:
-
Salvatore's Coal Oven Pizzeria – For that perfect blistered crust.
-

-
Amalfi of Port Washington – Neighborhood favorite with an authentic Italian touch.
-
Pepe Rosso 24 – A cozy spot serving up thin-crust perfection.

Why Nassau County Is the Best Place to Call Home (Pizza or Otherwise)
Sure, today's about cheese pizza, but here's the real sauce: living in Nassau County means you're never far from simple pleasures. Whether it's grabbing a slice on the go, celebrating quirky national holidays, or having world-class waterfront views just minutes from your favorite pizzeria—life here is as flavorful as a hot slice of pie.
