Pizza Hut released their second annual “Pizza Trends Report.” And it found that TODAY is the best day of the week to eat it.
43% said Friday . . . 23% said Saturday . . . and Wednesday is a distant third with 11% of the vote. Here are a few more quick stats.
1. They claim they’ve settled the debate on the RIGHT way to eat pizza. Do you fold it . . . not fold it . . . or eat it with a fork? The winner with almost half the vote is NO fold. Just start in on it tip-first. 44% said using a fork is a “food crime.”
2. A third of Americans expect to eat more pizza than last year. Kansas eats the most per capita, followed by the Dakotas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
3. 57% of us like cold pizza the next day, no need to heat it up.
4. Thin-crust is the most popular type, at least at Pizza Hut. Stuffed crust is next, then hand-tossed.
5. New York-style is #1 again with 29% of the vote. Chicago deep dish, 22% . . . Sicilian, 8% . . . and Detroit-style, 4%.
6. 58% of us dip our pizza, at least sometimes. Ranch is the most popular dipping sauce, followed by garlic sauce, marinara, and a tie for fourth between blue cheese and Buffalo.
7. 28% of Americans would give up drinking for a year for unlimited free pizza. 20% would give up coffee, and 14% would give up sweets.
8. The top celeb we’d grab a slice with is Morgan Freeman. He got more votes than Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, Joe Rogan, or George Clooney.
9. Last stat: The average American eats 288 slices a year. That’s just over 95 BILLION slices nationwide.
