Celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026!
Sadly, there aren't any pizza places around here that take bitcoin (at least not yet). But my wife is getting our pizza this evening and she’s cool with me covering my half using her Lightning wallet!
Is anyone else using bitcoin to pay for pizza tonight?
Celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026!

Like yourself there is nowhere near me accepting Bitcoin for Pizza or anything else that I know of.
There is a work around or half way house by using a Bitcoin debit/Gift card. I use BITREFILL.
(List) Gift cards providers
Head over here for the annual [2026] Bitcoin Pizza Day on Bitcointalk 🍕
Happy BPD - it will be tomorrow unfortunaely before I will be celebrating by eating!
Happy Pizza Day.
I am not buying pizza, I am making it myself.
Thanks for the heads-up, much appreciated!
On an occasion like this to Mark this year bitcoin pizza day, every investor should have access to eating pizza either for free or they use their money to buy one, it is what celebrating because of the unique relevance behind this and what it has taught a lot about bitcoin and its value in respect to time, all the following members in this noble community, i wish you all happy 2026 pizza day celebration.
You think instead of eating the pizza, if Lazlo would have preserved it
Do you think it would be a coveted item today? How much do you think a preserved pizza could be worth? Surely someone out there would be willing to pay a massive sum. Im reminded of the banana taped to the wall
I wonder how many pizzas in each brand of pizza that Lazio could order in real time. I wish we could always measure the exact dollar amount worth of the various pizzas, over the years, in terms of x amount of pizzas and then have a historical chart demonstrating said stats. Man that would truly make an epic website. Somebody ask AI to program this and post it lmao
Unfortunately, BTC and 🍕 aren't that popular where I live. Is there a place in the world where both BTCitcoin and pizza are popular? Maybe there is, but I don't know.
If there was a place like that in my area, I would definitely become a 👩🏽🍳 professional 🍕🍕 pizza 🔥 maker, where I would only sell pizza in exchange for Bitcoin!🤗

If it was something not perishable it would have been better to keep as a collectors items but it being a pizza and also that Lazlo never imagined how this will be makes it understandable why he did not keep the pizza.
I think the real collectors items can be a form of the conversation lazlo had with the dealer, the conversation can be framed or something then have his signature or initials on it.
Wish I could know how to prepare it myself too, I'll really love it. Is it necessary to buy it with Bitcoin to depict the pizza day event?
I'll not have Bitcoin to spare for pizza, but with Fiat won't be bad either.
Although, no pizza vendor accepting Bitcoin in my country.
Does anyone know how to contact Laszlo Hanyecz?

Belated Happy BTC Pizza Day to the crypto community here. Am a fan of this day myself considering that it's one of the very few unforgettable BTC memories out there for Laszlo himself and for many, many others like me imagining themselves in his position.
Dude could have probably bought out the orange clown and more with the money he spent on the pizza back then. Crazy stuff for sure.

In July 2010 Satoshi Nakamoto suggested Bitcoin donations as a way of covering their web hosting costs. Martti Malmi provided an address to receive these donations: 14EXchS9j3AAfim6mL4jtw6VWMosSUiG5U
This address is inactive until 2018, when it receives 0.00010000 BTC The sender was none other than Laszlo Hanyecz, famous for buying a pizza for 10000 BTC in May 2010 - the first commercial Bitcoin transaction.
He presumably wanted to remind them of his great sacrifice.
Its been long i eat pizza though this is because i am not a fan of it, but the pizza day celebration on the forum here from different threads have made me to go pick up two large family size pizza from a restaurant around me . It was nice, and I enjoyed it actually. But would have been nicer if I did pay with bitcoin just recreating the genesis of the celebration. But unfortunately my country has not gotten to that stage where bitcoin is use for such purchases and payments, but I know as the adoption continues grow we will get there!
But if I may asked, did you asked the seller of the pizza if he or she was willing to accept Bitcoin or not as payment for the pizza you just bought? Because sometimes, it is obvious he might have accepted but you didn't asked. Because for example, judging by how the history of the pizza day celebration came into play, we all know that back then in 2010, USA was never accepting Bitcoin as a medium of payment when Laszlo met Papa John's to trade 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas. But it's only just that both parties were ready and willing to accept it for payment. Which is actually what's most important. So next time, I won't mind if you could ask if they do accept Bitcoin, because you never can tell.

You're right about asking but you already know what the response would be in most cases especially in some of those countries where cryptocurrency is still facing serious scrutiny. Bitcoin would definitely get to the stage whereby no body would be willing to release his own not even to use it for payment because you already know that the longer you hold the better chances you stand to make more profits. Those that still reject bitcoin payments this time will wake up one day to realise that they have rejected the future and their breakthrough.
It takes a bitcoin enthusiast to accept bitcoin and anyone who still doesn't believe in bitcoin would definitely blame himself sooner just like those who had rejected bitcoin 5 years ago are regretting now.
Nice pick mate, but why didn't you make one yourself or buy the piza with at least a Bitcoin logo just to celebrate Bitcoin pizazz day in an iconic way.
Well enjoy your meal I am sure alot of other forum members mark this remarkable day for the Bitcoin community in a good manner that reflects the memories of how Bitcoin started and where it is right now.
