Happy National Pizza Day!

Pizza is Italian and as American as apple pie. Or, if you go by the amount of pizza Americans eat in a year, even more so.

So, how much pizza does the average American eat in a year? We break it down:

By the slice:

• Americans eat an average of 46 slices of pizza per year (packaged facts, New York). This amounts to 23 pounds of pizza per year.
• Americans eat 350 slices of pizza per second

By the pie:

• Americans eat 3 billion pizzas per year, for a total of $38 billion spent by Americans annually on pizza
• The average American eats 40 pizzas a year

Over a lifetime

• The average American will eat 6,000 slices of pizza, according to one national chain’s survey
• If you do some math here, that breaks down to an average of eight slices a month, every month of your life

Every Day

• Every day, 13% of the population eats some form of pizza

Restaurants

• In the US, a whopping 17% of restaurants are pizzerias (Food Industry News)
• New York City has 9,000 pizzerias
• And the country as a whole has 70,000 (Pizza Today)
