Bitcoin Pizza day is May 22nd. But What is Bitcoin Pizza Day? Learn the history behind the customary pizza day.

What is Bitcoin Pizza Day?

On May 22, 2010, the earliest Bitcoin enthusiast bought pizza using bitcoin. This day is known as Bitcoin Pizza Day. The guy who bought pizza with Bitcoin was a programmer and early miner named Laszlo Hanyecz.

On a Bitcoin forum, Hanyecz posted an offer to exchange 10k Bitcoin for two large pizzas. Eventually, someone took him up on his offer and delivered two Papa Johns pizzas.

10,000 Bitcoin were worth $41 at the time. That 10,000 Bitcoin would be worth $690,000,000 compared to its all-time high! Hanyecz feels no regret about using his cryptocurrency to pay for pizza, despite this. At that time bitcoin is hardly known outside of the crypto community, so purchasing pizza with it made cryptocurrency real for him.

How to Buy Pizza with Bitcoin

Bitcoin can be used to purchase gift cards for several pizzas and food delivery services. Use the BitPay extension or app to buy the gift cards. Use right away or save for later.

- DoorDash

-Uber Eats

-Domino's

-Papa Johns

-Fazoli's

Spend Bitcoin Like Cash With The BitPay Card At Any Local Pizzeria

Any pizza shop that takes Mastercard will accept the BitPay Card. The BitPay Card can be loaded from your cryptocurrency wallet, which is the only difference between a crypto debit card and a regular debit card.
