National Pizza Day 2022: Deals to take advantage of on the cheesiest day of the year
FILE - Slices of pizza.
Feb. 9 marks National Pizza Day in the United States and pizza continues to be a fast-food staple, at least that’s what statistics show.
On average, Americans consume 3 billion pizzas a year and the average American consumes about 40 pizzas a year, according to Slice Life, an app that allows people to find and support local pizzerias.
Additionally, Americans will eat an average of about 6,000 slices of pizza in their entire life, which makes sense because it’s delicious.
Slice of the Union, which is literally a website dedicated to pizza statistics, showed the most popular pizza style by state in 2021. In California, veggie pizza was No. 1, in Georgia deep dish has won the hearts of southerners, and in New York, Sicilian is a chef’s kiss.
Additionally, requests for a dairy-free pizza grew by a whopping 333% in 2021 and pineapple pizza actually gained popularity by 76%.
Pepperoni obviously dominated as the most popular topping across the U.S., with mushroom and extra cheese coming in second and third respectively.
The most popular days that people ordered pizza in 2021 were unsurprisingly Super Bowl, Halloween, Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve, according to Slice.
The most popular franchise that people ordered pizza from was Pizza Hut but Slice found that the majority of people would rather buy local.
