Ask a handful of strangers what their favourite food is and you’re sure to get the answer ‘pizza!’ from at least one of them. Pizza is pretty much a staple favourite and arguably one of the most famous foods, known throughout the world. From Chicago Deep Dish to thin crust or cauliflower crust, to Pide or New York Style, there’s no end to the types of pizza you can enjoy. That’s not even touching on all the different toppings – personally I like corn and ketchup on my pizza.
This is all to say, that on #nationalpizzaday it only makes sense to order a slice or eight.
