With the city still slowly reopening, local businesses could use our support now more than ever, prompting many locals to dedicate at least one day a week to order from a neighborhood spot. And on Sept. 5, you have more reason than ever, as it’s National Cheese Pizza Day. While any day of the week is a good day for pizza, especially with all the great options near your 1213 Walnut apartment, on this occasion, you can indulge without guilt, knowing you’re celebrating a pseudo holiday all while giving back to the local business community.

With so many award-winning pizzerias near your 1213 Walnut apartment, however, how do you narrow down your choices? If it’s a diversity of selections you’re after, Pizzeria Cappelli should do the trick. The longtime local favorite offers pizza by the slice and whole pies—with something to suit any taste. The shop, just two blocks from your 1213 Walnut apartment, specializes in creative concoctions. While it offers the traditional, pepperoni, mushroom and spinach toppings, look out for more unusual flavors as well: pies topped with macaroni and cheese, sliced ribeye, artichokes and eggplant.

Choose from more than two dozen toppings—labeled traditional or gourmet for the more off-the-beaten path choices—or opt for one of the shop’s own creations. For instance, there’s the 13th Street Special, smothered in grilled chicken and ranch dressing, or the Philly cheesesteak, brimming with sliced steak, homemade garlic sauce, creamy cheddar and sautéed onions. If you want something to go along with your pizza, opt for the jumbo wings, nachos or plenty of other shareable apps. Best of all, the shop is open until 3 a.m.—so no matter what time of day or night you want to celebrate National Cheese Pizza Day, you can do so at Pizzeria Cappelli.

Pizza is often our go-to when it comes to ordering dinner, but at Pizzeria Cappelli, the meal is anything but ordinary—making it the perfect fit for your celebratory show of support.
