Pizza. It's what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some U.S. pizza makers have even incoporated toppings such as peanut butter & jelly and bacon & eggs to satisfy the cravings of breakfast lovers.
Here are some stats on just how much we love pizza here in the U.S. of A:
- Pizza is a $30 billion industry.
- Americans eat approximately 350 slices of pizza... per second
- 93% of Americans eat at least one pizza per month.
- Approximately 3 billion pizzas are sold in the U.S. each year.
- Pizzerias account for 17% of all restaurants.
- 94% of Americans eat pizza on a regular basis.
Who would have known that a food that orginated in Italy would have become such an American staple?
