FILE - Slices of pizza. Feb. 9 marks National Pizza Day in the United States and pizza continues to be a fast-food staple, at least that’s what statistics show.
On average, Americans consume 3 billion pizzas a year and the average American consumes about 40 pizzas a year, according to Slice Life, an app that allows people to find and support local pizzerias.
Additionally, Americans will eat an average of about 6,000 slices of pizza in their entire life, which makes sense because it’s delicious.
