In 2014, PAPA, the Pizza Pasta & Italian Food Association revealed that pizza is now the most popular food purchased in restaurants; the 2nd most popular item bought in supermarkets for dinner, and 4th most popular dinner item purchased in fast food outlets. It was also revealed that pizza home delivery market is now accounts for over 1/6th of the takeaway market. In 2014 an average of 75 grams of pizza was consumed per person per week: 53 grams from frozen or none frozen ready-made pizzas and 22 grams from takeaway pizzas, Statista found. So, it’s no wonder that pizza has its own day and that the 9th February is National Pizza Day. It’s estimated that Britons spend around £2.9 billion per year on pizza.
