The Average American Hasn’t Changed Their Pizza Order in Two Years

Some people are looking to make BIG CHANGES in their lives this year . . . and that may mean finally trying banana peppers on their pizza.

There’s a new poll out on pizza, and it found that the average American hasn’t changed their pizza order in TWO YEARS.  And 14% of people have been eating the exact same pizza for over five years.

Midwesterners have a reputation for being the LEAST experimental with food . . . and that’s true with pizza too.  Of all 50 states, Michigan is the state least likely to spice up their pizza order . . . and 11% of people there say they’ve “NEVER tried a new pizza combination.”  That’s more than any other state.

57% of Americans say they’re open to trying new pizza combinations but “don’t know where to start.”  (Hmm . . . maybe try picking different toppings???)

So what are the boring options people are repeatedly ordering?

In 20 states, the preferred order is a regular old pepperoni pizza.  In 18 states, it’s a “meat lover’s pizza.”  In eight states, it’s a “supreme pizza.”  In two states, it’s a “supreme and pepperoni” . . . and in South Dakota it’s a “supreme and meat lover’s pizza.”

Massachusetts is the only state that’s off the beaten path . . . slightly . . . with a preference for a veggie pizza.  (Hey, at least no one’s #1 is a “cheese pizza,” which is just one step above crust and sauce.)

One easy tweak:  Add something a little spicy.  49% of people say that makes pizza taste better.  That can be a pepper . . . a spicier dressing or dipping sauce . . . or red pepper flakes.
