Pizza is more than just a quick and delicious snack, it’s a unstoppable lifestyle. Americans went from eating pizza 3.4 times per month on average in 2014 to eating it four full times a month, according to a report released by restaurant industry tracker Technomic, Inc.
Food Business News reports that Technomic analyzed pizza consumption habits since 2014, and discovered not only are Americans eating more pizza, but that our preferences of pizza are ever changing. According to Technomic’s trend report, there was an 8 percent increase in the number of pizza lovers who said unique toppings were “highly important,” and they observed that toppings like chicken and prosciutto, and spicy sauces made with Sriracha or buffalo sauce, were becoming increasingly common.
No matter how you slice it, it gets even better the next time around. We Americans are on this temporary trend of eating in and with convenience aside, “26 percent of us say we make our own pizzas every couple of months, 23 percent every month and 6 percent every single week,” according to Food Network.
Yeah, that’s a lot of cheesy pie and given the roughly 70,000 pizzerias in American, we’ve got a lot more eating to do.
