February 9 is National Pizza Day, a time to order and enjoy one of the most beloved meals in the United States.

In fact, Americans eat an average of 46 slices of pizza per year and an estimated 17% of all U.S. restaurants are pizzerias, according to Slice Life, an app that allows people to find and support local pizzerias.

And with the Super Bowl coming up, pizza and football appear to go hand-in-hand. In 2022, more people ordered pizza on football game days than during any other major league sporting event, a recent report from Slice says.

Basketball and baseball games were almost tied for second.
