NATIONAL PIZZA DAY: Celebrate with the Best of Dayton winners

Daytonians take their pizza seriously, especially on official pizza holidays like today.

Feb. 9 is National Pizza Day, and what better way to celebrate than devouring the city’s best of the best. The 2021 Best of Dayton contest featured two pizza categories: “Best Pizza Restaurant” and “Best Square-Cut Pizza.” Our readers weighed-in, and two pizzerias placed in both contests.
