Slicin’ It Up The Stats On Pizza
Designed by Kirsten Gustafson
About The Book Slicin’ It Up is a collection of information about the pizza preferences among my friends and family. The data was collected specifically for this project with the use of a simple survey I created using SurveyMonkey. The survey was distributed primarily through Facebook and email. Since the data was collected from a limited range of respondents, it does not necessarily reflect that of the general population. The data in the book has been broken up into several categories, including: Quantity, Size & Price, Preparation & Location, and The Perfect Pizza. There are also two pages titled Did you know? that contain fun facts about pizza. These facts were not collected through the survey.
