Today is National Cheese Pizza Day! See deals and discounts

National Cheese Pizza Day is upon us, which means pizza lovers can get a slice at a discount this weekend.

Saturday, Sept. 5, marks National Cheese Pizza Day, and brands are bringing out the deals to celebrate the iconic dish. The national holiday also coincides with Labor Day weekend. In 2026, Labor Day will fall on Monday, Sept. 7, so you can celebrate and enjoy the long weekend with a pie.
