![]() By: Agustin Garcia Damien Pizza is a food eaten by millions of people worldwide. It has become a popular food, that originated in Italy. We are all very comfortable with there being pizza places everywhere. According to Business Insider, 3 out of the 20 most popular fast food restaurants are pizza places, including Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and Little Caesars. Probably the most popular pizza out there is Pepperoni Pizza. It is an icon of food and it is commonly seen as the best type of Pizza. With good reason, I’ve come to a similar conclusion. Pepperoni Pizza is the best because it’s the most commonly bought pizza and it’s an iconic symbol. Pepperoni Pizza is the best type of pizza because it is the most commonly bought pizza. According to Business Insider, when a research study was done involving 604 pizza place locations across the US, the most commonly chosen topping was in fact pepperoni. Of the 12 options that were shown, Pepperoni had 36% of all the toppings that were chosen. This number beats the next three toppings combined. (Sausage with a 14%; Mushrooms with an 11%; Other with a 10%) Cleary, most people in the world see my opinion as well, pepperoni Pizza is just the best when it comes to a topping and the pizza. Another reason that Pepperoni Pizza is the best is that it’s become an iconic symbol for pizza and food in general. According to an Eater article, “Pizza ads and commercials tend to highlight three specific kinds of pizzas: pepperoni; pepperoni and mushroom; and pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper, onion, and black olive. A DiGiorno pizza ad pops up into my Twitter feed every hour: It’s pepperoni. Banner ads for Little Caesars, Domino’s, and Pizza Hut? Mainly pepperoni. Google pizza commercials from the 1980s, and discover an endless supply of pepperoni, pepperoni-mushroom, and the PMGPOBO. I watched seven different commercials from 2017 and they rarely deviated from this pattern.” Pepperoni is just an icon and the media and pizza companies have seen this fact already, and have even encouraged this fact. They use it in their commercials when you see a bunch of teenagers or young adults opening a pizza and smiling when they see what’s inside. Sure enough, many people are drawn to this fact, and more than usual, are not disappointed and find that the pizza looks similar to what was seen in the commercial. |
