Pizza is something that people take very seriously. Ask pizza lovers in any big city who has the best in their town and you'll get answers that will take you all over the map from big chains to neighborhood storefronts to tiny places that you won't find on the internet. Challenge someone's favorite pizza joint and you'll spark a heated conversation that will stir up far more emotions than any disagreement over religion or politics every could. Pizza might be shared, but pizza is always personal.
The USDA tells us that, on any given day in America, 13 percent of the population is consuming what is called the "world's most popular food."
The following pictures illustrate that idea pretty perfectly. If you're not hungry now, you soon will be.
Enjoy.
