Bread. Tomatoes. Cheese. Pizza really is a celebration of the beauty in the simple things in life, and on National Pizza Day we celebrate that, too.

If you’re looking for a way to celebrate, the good news is that Huntsville has lots of options. We rounded up seven here.

1. Big Ed’s Pizza

Big Ed’s is a Huntsville standard, a family-owned business that’s been in operation since the 60’s. It’s also probably the only spot in town where you can get a pint glass full of fried pepperoni as an appetizer.

2. Cork & Crust Pizzeria + Wine Bar

Cork and Crust on County Line Road in Madison is a go-to spot for brick-oven pizza, wine, craft beer and craft cocktails. The restaurant also has gluten-free selections available.

Address: 12120 County Line Rd, Madison, AL 35756
Hours: Tuesday-Thursday 4PM-8PM; Friday 4PM-9PM; Saturday 11AM-2PM, 4PM-9PM; Sunday 11AM-2PM

3. Earth and Stone

For authentic, wood-fired pizza, look no further than Earth & Stone. My menu recommendation is the Infamous Tommy G, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their selections.

Hours: Sunday 11AM-8PM; Monday-Thursday 11AM-9PM; Friday-Saturday 11AM-11PM

4. Pane e Vino

Pane e Vino offers pizza and drinks with a view; the restaurant is situated in the bottom floor of the Huntsville Museum of Art and overlooks Big Spring International Park. After your food settles, why not take a walk around the museum or the park?

5. Sam & Greg’s Pizzeria + Gelateria

The good news about Sam & Greg’s Pizzeria + Gelateria is that they have two locations: one in downtown Huntsville, and the other in the heart of Madison. Thankfully, that means you’re never too far away from a delicious slice and a sweet scoop of gelato.
