National Pizza Week has arrived, and we could not be more excited. Who doesn’t love pizza? With an estimated 3 billion pies sold each year in the US alone, it’s no wonder that pizza is America’s favorite food. In fact, the most popular topping is pepperoni according to 64% of Americans. So this week, why not grab a slice or a pie and celebrate the deliciousness that is pizza?!

The Origins of Pizza:

Pizza has been around for centuries as far back as Ancient Greece. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1895 by Gennaro Lombardi in New York City. Since then, there have been many different variations on the classic pizza such as Sicilian-style (thicker crust), deep dish (thick crust but shaped like a pie), and even vegan pizzas! No matter what type you go for, there’s something special about sinking your teeth into a hot, cheesy slice of pizza.

Topping It Off!
Pepperoni may be the most popular topping among Americans, but there are countless other toppings to choose from including sausage, mushrooms, olives, onions, peppers and even pineapple! The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating your own perfect combination. Whether you like your pizzas covered with veggies or loaded up with meats—the choice is yours! And if you really want to get creative, why not try making your own “designer” pizza at home? Just don’t forget to add plenty of cheese!
