Tell me, is there anything better than a delicious slice of pizza?

Quick answer — no.

This American food staple has been around since the 6th Century B.C., with the first modern pizza (adding tomato to the recipe) can be traced back to Naples, Italy, in the 18th Century. Even now, thousands of years after that very first pie was baked, it's still going strong.

How strong you ask?

Just take a gander at some of these interesting and fun facts about this delicious round delicacy!

— According to a recent survey conducted by Mintel, 93% of Americans have had pizza within the past month.
