International Pizza and Beer Day Celebrated in Fitler Square

International Pizza and Beer Day Arrives at Sally with Bitburger

Philadelphia’s discerning foodies, take note: Thursday, October 9, marks International Pizza and Beer Day, and one of the city’s most beloved hideaways, Sally in Fitler Square, is teaming up with Germany’s iconic Bitburger Premium Pils to honor this delicious international pairing. From Monday, October 6, through Thursday, October 9, Sally will offer a curated special to commemorate the occasion: a personal-sized cheese pizza from Chef David Kupperberg, perfectly paired with a refreshing Bitburger Premium Pils — all for just $11.

This limited-time offering invites guests to enjoy the comforting, universal duo of pizza and beer with a refined, neighborhood twist. Sally, known for its wood-fired pizzas, hyper-seasonal small plates, and a tight but thoughtful beverage list, delivers this celebratory collaboration with the kind of polish and local flavor that makes Fitler Square such a hidden culinary gem.

Whether you’re embracing the full pour or opting for Bitburger 0.0 — the brewery’s top-tier non-alcoholic pilsner, ideal for those participating in Sober October — the experience is about more than just taste. It’s about honoring tradition with a nod to sustainability, craftsmanship, and community.

The Roots of International Pizza and Beer Day

International Pizza and Beer Day may not come with a parade or fireworks, but for many of us, it’s a celebration that hits closer to the heart — and the palate. Honoring two of the world’s most universally loved culinary staples, this day is a reminder of simple pleasures elevated through quality ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Pizza and beer, after all, are cultural connectors.

That spirit of excellence is where Bitburger comes in. As Germany’s #1 poured draft beer, Bitburger has maintained its family-owned brewing legacy in the town of Bitburg, Germany, since 1817. With over 200 years of dedication to purity, sustainability, and innovation, Bitburger is a symbol of proper quality.

And it’s not by chance that Bitburger chose Sally as its Philadelphia partner for International Pizza and Beer Day. Sally’s ethos mirrors Bitburger’s in many ways: a focus on exceptional ingredients, intentional craftsmanship, and a sense of neighborhood warmth that turns first-time guests into regulars.
