Pizza is a very popular choice among America. It can serve them as a meal or a snack. Americans order pizza for sleepovers, movie nights, family dinners, lunch, or just when they feel like treating themselves. Pizza is also sold by the slice, with the $1 slice being a staple in New York. 

This versatile food might be Italian in origin and have some roots in Ancient Greece, but many in the United States consider pizza to be an American staple now.  There are several kinds of pizzas available depending on where you are in the country, with various toppings on offer as well. Some fast food restaurants even have the option of customers making their own pizza, starting with a choice of base and presenting a wide variety of sauces, toppings, meats, and other customizations. 

Needless to say, almost every American will consume a large amount of pizza during their lifetime. It may not be the healthiest option, but at time it is one of the cheapest and most delicious ones you can find. In fact, some people even say that the specific minerals found in New York water are responsible for the unique taste of pizza in that area!
