IT’S time to grab a pizza the action!
Today, Friday, February 9, is National Pizza Day - a whole day dedicated to everyone's favourite cheesy Italian treat.
The cheesy topped dough that can be eaten hot or cold is a favourite when it comes to ordering fast food.
Do you go for a traditional margherita pizza with cheese and tomato or do you like extra toppings on every slice?
Last year, as part of our Best of 2023 campaign, we searched for St Helens' Best for Pizza venue.
We were inundated with nominations and put together a shortlist of the top ten pizza places.
