National Cheese Pizza Day in Lake County

By: Jonathan Jones 09/06/2016

We all call our inner Kevin McCallister from Home Alone when the fumes rise from the box and the beautiful pie stares back at you. All you can do is reply, “A lovely cheese pizza, just for me.”

But hey at least it's just in time for Tasty Tuesday!

Since we celebrate and party hardy on Labor Day, we forgot the fact that it was National Cheese Pizza Day in Lake County.

I mean, can you ask for a day more important cheese pizza day in Lake County?

That is a day in particular we never want to skip and as an avid pizza aficionado, I’m ashamed in myself. So a belated list has been put together for you so you can scream cowabunga and munch on a slice of pizza like the ninja turtles.
