• Antica Pizzeria is the first known pizzeria, which opened in Naples, Italy in 1738. In 1830, the Port’Alba restaurant opened in Naples, baking their pies in an oven lined with lava from nearby volcano Mount Vesuvius. America’s first pizzeria was opened by Gennaro Lombardi in 1897 in New York City, and is still in operation just down the street from its original location.

• Super Bowl Sunday is the highest pizza sales day of the year. Domino’s Pizza alone sells more than 110 million pizza slices on that day, about 80% more than a normal Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is followed by New Year’s Eve, Halloween, Thanksgiving Eve, and New Year’s Day. But even with all the pizzas sold on those days, pizza still takes second place in the takeout department for the over-50 crowd, edged out by chicken. • In 1958, two brothers from Kansas borrowed $600 from their mother to start up a pizza restaurant in a 600-square-foot building in Kansas. Frank and Dan Carney opened up the first Pizza Hut near Wichita State University, and just one year later, had their first franchise restaurant in neighboring Topeka. Within 10 years, there were 300 Pizza Huts across the nation. Today there are approximately 12,000 Huts in over 90 countries around the world. In America, this chain is the largest user of cheese, purchasing more than 3% of the country’s supply, an amount that requires 170,000 dairy cows to produce.
