These pizza quotes are funny—and will definitely remind you that pizza is life.

I’m a New York girl living in Montana and let me tell you, the one thing I regret is not being able to get some of the best pizza ever.

If you haven’t had a piece of New York pizza, you should add that to your bucket list.

You can buy it by the slice and it is a slice of heaven!

Florida pizza, depending on the area you are in, can be close because so many New Yorkers move there.

It just isn’t quite the same, though.

My sister, who worked at a pizzeria in New York, swears it is because of the water.

Something about how the tap water they used to make the dough is different.

I don’t know why, but I know it is just better than pizza I have had anywhere else!

Interesting pizza facts

You might wonder if pizza is really considered “Americana.”

Well, given that Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza each day (or 350 slices per second), I think it’s a pretty accurate statement.

Add to that the fact that October is National Pizza Month, and it really isn’t even arguable anymore!

October has held this distinction since 1987, almost a year before the premiere of Mystic Pizza.

You could almost argue that pizza is a global phenomenon since over 5 billion pizzas are sold worldwide each year.

About 36% of the pizzas in America have pepperoni on them.

In fact, we consume around 251,770,000 pounds of pepperonis every year.

However, women are twice as likely as men to order vegetables on their pizza.

Now in Japan, their toppings are a little more interesting and include things like squid and Mayo Jaga (mayonnaise, potato, and bacon).
