In America, we LOVE PIZZA, and a new report from Pizza Hut reveals our preferences and how much of it we’re actually eating. The restaurant chain surveyed 5-thousand U.S. adults and found people have pizza three times every month, on average, eating eight slices during that time.
Wisconsin takes the lead with an average monthly consumption of 10 slices. Sound like a lot to you? Wait a second.
The survey also finds:
- Friday is the most popular day to order pizza.
- The most popular types of crust are thin (28%), stuffed (20%) and thick crust (14%).
- Stuffed crust is the favorite in 14 states, led by Wyoming and Montana with 30% of their respondents preferring the stuffed variety.
- People also love dipping sauces for their slices, ranch is the most popular (38%), followed by garlic sauce (27%) and hot sauce (8%).
- The most popular style is New York style pizza and pepperoni is the favorite meat topping (42%), except in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, where they prefer sausage.

- Nearly half (44%) of respondents say they’re willing to try the controversial topping of pineapple on pizza. Other unusual toppings people would try include chili peppers (21%), artichokes (16%), potatoes (15%) and pickles (14%).
- But there are some toppings people would like to see banned from pies, like fish (23%), beets (21%), blueberries (15%) and plums (14%). But 10% wouldn’t ban anything.

- And three-quarters (74%) enjoy their leftover pizza cold.
