People eat copious amounts of funny cuisines worldwide and few seem to be loved more than pizza. It is enjoyed worldwide, in many different flavors, and seems to have the largest fanbase in America where it is literally eaten by the acre every day.
These amazing statistics are based on pizza consumption in the USA:
- The US has over 60,000 Pizza Parlours.
- One third of American pizza eaters prefer pepperoni.
- Over 250 Million pounds of pepperoni is consumed annually in the USA.
I’d say it is fairly established, the Americans love their pizza. How does this all stack up when you compare with Australia? With a much smaller population in Australia, the Aussies still carry their weight in the pizza eating stakes. The guys at Melbourne Pizza Delivery (MPD) are carrying out the next Australian Social Experiment to establish where they are positioned in the global marketplace of pizza consumption.
How will this social experiment work? First of all the boys from MPD establish the nutrition levels of many pizza recipes. Then they look at who eats the different pizza types and what the demographics of the consumers are. How does the body cope with the nutrition levels of a pizza over weeks, maybe years? There are many questions to ask and these will be answered as the research continues.
People from all backgrounds enjoy their pizza and it isn’t restricted to certain social backgrounds anymore. Just about anyone can afford a take away pizza these days and that clearly shows up in the sheer amount of pizza that is delivered to people’s doorsteps every month all around the globe.
