According to Much Needed, every day, it's estimated that one in eight Americans eat pizza. It's not hard to see why. Anywhere there's activity, pizzas are sure to be there. Everyone's got their favorite toppings, favorite flavors, and favorite pizza places and it's estimated 3 billion are sold each year. But why are Americans crazy for pizza? Here are four good reasons:

Bringing People Together

Pizza is the perfect shareable food and it's perfect for getting together with family and friends. Unlike food such as soup, everyone can grab a slice of pizza, sit where they want, and socialize while eating. Even if you're planning an employee bonding activity at work, pizzas are a great food choice. It's hard for anyone to turn down pizza, especially free pizza.

Customization

Another one of the great things about pizza is that it's fully customizable. Unlike a stop at a fast-food place where you're offered a few options, at a pizza place you can order exactly what you want. If you're in the mood for something specific, you can have the employees make you that pizza. If you like a pizza, but don't like a few of the toppings, those can be left off. The sky is the limit with pizza options and you get something delicious no matter what you pick.

It's Inexpensive

Many people consider pizza to be the perfect food because it doesn't cost too much to buy. It doesn't cost too much to make either. Even if you're looking to make a homemade supreme pizza, the ingredients don't cost very much and you can feed a family or a group of friends for very little money.

It Makes People Happy

Pizza isn't always the greatest choice if you're trying to eat healthily, but it sure makes people happy. When you eat pizza, your brain endorphins, the feel-good hormones that make you happy. With endorphins running through you, the combination of meat, cheese, crust, and vegetables tastes extra good. It's even better if you're amongst friends and family.

Make It A Pizza Night

The next time you're having a family get-together or a game night with friends, pick up some pizzas to liven up the party. You'll have great food, everyone will be in a good mood, and you'll be able to have a great time without breaking the bank.
