People consume copious amounts of funny foods worldwide and few seem to be more popular than pizza. It is loved worldwide, in many different varieties, and seems to have its largest fanbase in the USA where it is literally eaten by the acre every day.

These amazing statistics are based on pizza consumption in America:

• Americans eat 350 slices of pizza per second, or 100 acres per day.
• 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? Although the population is far smaller in Australia, the Aussies still carry their weight in the pizza eating stakes. The boys at Melbourne Pizza Delivery are carrying out the next Aussie Social Experiment to work out where they sit in the global marketplace of pizza consumption.

How will this social experiment work? First of all they establish the nutrition levels of various pizza recipes. Then who eats the different pizza types and what the demographics of the customers are. How do people’s bodies cope with the nutrition levels of a pizza over a prolonged period? There are many questions to ask and these will be answered as the research continues.

People from all backgrounds enjoy their pizza and it certainly isn’t restricted to certain social backgrounds anymore. Anyone can afford a take away pizza nowadays and that clearly shows up in the copious amounts of pizza that is delivered to people’s doorsteps every day all around the world.
