Happy National Pizza Day!
Pizza. Loved by all young and old. Have picky kids? I bet they like pizza! I know mine always have. Sure, sometimes you have to basic cheese, but now that they're older, they've graduated to pepperoni, sausage and more! So before you decide how to celebrate National Pizza Day, know this.
- Pepperoni is the most popular kind of pizza at 36% of all orders.
- Over 3 billion pizzas are ordered each year, with 1 billion more frozen ones sold.
- 17% of all restaurants are Pizzerias.
- Americans consume an average of 23 pounds of pizza per person each year!
If you're a listener to the show, you know that I have a favorite kind of pizza. I love all kinds, but TACO PIZZA wins everytime. I have my favorite places for Taco Pizza, but I'm always willing to try new ones! So go out and celebrate National Pizza Day the only way you should. With a big, fresh pie!
