Pizza has to be the best selling food item there is. Of course it has to be good! Make no mistake, if word gets out that it is amazing then be prepared to wait in line! But, just as good news travels fast; so does bad. Some places become famous from the pizza taste alone, and some from the whole experience you have from the atmosphere to the fun staff.

Can you remember when you didn’t crave pizza at one time or another? It’s a real go-to for families and groups after a sporting event. Pizza is really popular for slumber parties and birthday parties alike. It covers all bases and people somehow feel joy when pulling the slice up to their mouth and get that cheesy goodness stringing down their chin.

The sizes, shapes, thickness, cuts, and toppings are endless! Some places are known for how they cut the pizza. Some are popular for how this and deep the dish is. Many people can name more than one pizza place they have visited. There are unusual pizzerias that offer toppings that aren’t considered the “norm.” Toppings such as pineapple, avocado, arugula, mango, and too many to list draw their own crowd. Most people prefer traditional pepperoni or sausage.

Remember a time when you were a kid that you had a box of Chef Boyardee pizza kit? That was fun and messy! Kids love that! It did have a little lesson in using ingredients to create it, and how to use the oven safely. They didn’t end up being the most beautiful pizzas, but they sure tasted good! Add a movie to watch and what a fun night with the family!

Isn’t it funny how certain pizzas bring back memories you had from celebrations or tradition? Maybe your family would order pizza on Friday nights and have a movie night. Earlier there weren’t movie rentals, so you looked at the TV Guide. It’s so different now. Later on in the 80s movies were available to rent. You couldn’t wait to go and rent the latest movie out and enjoy the pizza while you watched. Pizza, pop and a movie is still a timeless tradition, but there is a huge number of pizza places to choose from and movies to now stream on an app. Times have changed with technology, but pizza remains a great food to still have fun new traditions!
