Throughout March, we're joining our peers in the pizza industry to celebrate Women's Pizza Month. The month-long celebration, which coincides with International Women's Month, is a chance to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions women have made, and continue to make within the international pizza industry.

From women passionate enough to open a pizzeria, to those behind the scenes, and those that are just getting started with a new pizza oven, this month we encourage you to join us in showing your support for Women's Pizza Month.

"Women in the pizza community have always been and will continue to be vital to the advancement of the pizza industry. Just because they may not have been the person you saw behind the counter doesn’t mean they haven’t been a part of the industry.
Many women have worked behind the scenes and are the reason businesses have kept their doors open. They’ve been the inspirations and people behind the recipes for generations. Women bring diversified talents, skills, experiences and perspectives that can only help the industry continue to evolve!"
