According to a news report from ThePittsburghChannel.com, “Pizza is the second-most popular takeout food in the United States, behind chicken, and is by a wide margin the most popular delivered meal. According to the National Restaurant Association, 93 percent of Americans eat pizza at least once a month.”

“Each man, woman and child in the country eats an average of 46 slices of pizza per year,” said the article. “Pizza is not, however, health food by any stretch of a rational person’s imagination. The very things that make it so popular — the cheese, the toppings and the golden brown crust — are also the things that make that humble pie a real diet buster.”

“Every pizza chain offers something in the way of what could be construed as a “diet” pizza, usually one loaded with vegetables. They are consistently near the bottom of the sales frequency ratings for every chain, according to store managers.This tells us that Americans don’t particularly want their pizzas made into health food.With that in mind, I gathered a tasting panel and set out to test the three major delivery chains — Pizza Hut, Papa John’s and Domino’s — to see where you could get the most bang for your buck — and for your calories.” said the story.
