Pizza is the ultimate equalizer. Doesn’t matter if you land in the 1% or have $1 to your name – the way three simple, staple ingredients blend together is enjoyed by all. Not only is it feasted upon by all types of people, at all hours of the day, it is an altogether easy dish to create. It seems like every corner on every city has a pizza shop, chain, or restaurant trying their hand at a memorable pie. Some are topped with just cheese, others plop on meats or veggies, and others make you stop in your tracks and think “I don’t know what I’m looking at, but I just HAVE TO try it.”
The best part about pizza – wherever you go, there it is. Global demand coupled with global supply and endless creative options equals full stomachs all around. By now you’re sure to have a hometown favorite for those lazy Friday nights or bulk order for the big game – but what about when you’re on the road?
