About 75 acres of pizza are eaten in the United States everyday.

Pizza became most popular in America after soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.  During the latter half of the 20th century, pizza in the United States became an iconic dish of considerable popularity. Often, “Americanized” foods such as barbecued chicken and bacon cheeseburgers are used to create new types of pizza.
