7 Great Pizza Restaurants in Palm Beach County

National Cheese Pizza Day is coming next Tuesday, September 5, so now’s the time to set your plan of pizza attack.

One of the most popular dishes in the world, pizza dates back thousands of years, as flatbreads with toppings were common with ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. But the modern pizza that we celebrate this September was born on Italy’s west coast.

Cheese pizza is now the number one most ordered pizza pie in the nation, and for good reason. The classic dish pairs dough with sweet marinara sauce and creamy mozzarella cheese for a beautifully simple, reliable, and delectable taste.

Here are seven pizza options to try in Palm Beach County, but there are, of course, dozens of others worth exploring.
