How to
Celebrate
A Full Week of Pizza Joy
Pizza Week is easy to celebrate with each day building the carb and dairy-filled festiveness.
Day 1
Decorate
Create a festive atmosphere with mylar balloons, artwork, lighting and even blankets. Streamers and balloons make good cost-effective options.
Day 2
‘Za Fast
This is a day of anticipation where pizza devotees abstain from all sustenance until pizza can be consumed. Easiest solution? Breakfast pizza.
Day 3
All is Pizza
For the full day, all food items must be referred to as pizza. Sandwich? Pizza. Salad? Pizza. Abalone? Pizza. Water? Pizza.
Day 4
Reflect
Look back on the past year and nominate a pie for pizza of the year. After a political process of your choice, all participants should choose a single winner.
Day 5
Look Ahead
Choose a piece of pizza to leave in the freezer until the next observance of Pizza Week – 2 years from now. This slice can be consumed during any day of the future celebration but makes for a particularly special first night.
Day 6
Share
Share the joy of Pizza Week with friends and family by throwing a pizza party.
Day 7
Go All-In
If possible, eat pizza for 3 meals. Remember that you are free to define pizza as loosely as you’d like and there’s not restriction on quantity: a single bite per meal is acceptable.

Quality Increase
Start from the bottom and increase the pizza quality each day. Good starting points are Totino’s-equivalent microwavable pies – it’s all uphill from there.
All Homemade
The surest path to high-quality pizza is to make it yourself. Check our recipes section for some ideas.
Non-Trad
If allergies or health concerns are preventing you from participating, you can always eat vaguely pizza-shaped foods like strawberries on a pineapple slice.
Every Meal
This theme has never been attempted or completed as part of Pizza Week. Participants eat pizza for 3 meals per day for the full week.
