When asked, what one food could you not live without, I would answer pizza ( with some pain for not being able to say chocolate).
I have never met a pizza that I didn't like enough to eat.
Yes, I still eat it cold and for breakfast. :)
Some fun facts...
1. Approximately three billion pizzas are sold in the United States every year, plus an additional one billion frozen pizzas. On average, each person in the United States eats around 23 pounds of pizza every year.
2. Ninety-three percent of Americans eat pizza at least once a month.
3. Women are twice as likely as men to order vegetarian toppings on their pizza.
4. About 36 percent of all pizzas contain pepperoni, making it the most popular topping in the United States.
5. The first known pizzeria, Antica Pizzeria, opened in Naples, Italy, in 1738.
