Who knew October was the official month of more than one iconic Italian-inspired dish? Yes, it's National Pizza Month, which means deals on pies can be found all month long. Additionally though, October is World Pasta Month and National Pasta Day falls this Wednesday, October 17.

And what better way to honor these holidays than by eating tons of pasta for free (or at epic discounts) this week? Italian chains and local restaurants across the country are offering a variety of different promotions and freebies so we can make the most of the day. Take a look ahead to see where to find the Pasta Day deals.
