October is National Pizza Month! If you’ve eaten pizza in the past month, you’re part of the 93% of Americans who have done that same thing. In fact, across the nation, about 350 slices are consumed every second, equivalent to about 100 acres of pizza each day. If you’re an average citizen, you’ll eat about 46 slices, equal to 23 lbs. (10.4 kg) every year. Pizza sales generate about $30 billion annually. • It should be no surprise that pepperoni is the nation’s favorite topping, featured on about 36% of all pizzas ordered. That adds up to approximately 251,770,000 lbs. (114,200,951 kg) of this meat every year. Our least favorite topping is anchovies. About 61% of the population likes thin crust best and 14% prefer thick crust. The remainder like very thin crust the best. • There are more than 61,000 pizzerias in the United States. Over 9,000 of those are in New York. About 17% of the restaurants in America are pizzerias. • Pizza evolved in Italy hundreds of years ago as a way to use up leftovers. With no refrigeration or way to preserve perishables, women would roll out dough and put remnants of meals along with fresh produce on the dough to bake. turn the page for more!
