What's Your favorite Super Bowl Chow? 

By Webmaster

If it's Pizza, you're not alone. Super Sunday is one of the five biggest pizza purchasing days of the year; the others being Halloween, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and the day before Thanksgiving. On average, pizzerias across the country will see a 35% rise in sales Super Bowl Sunday.



The NFL's official pizza provider, Papa John's, expects to sell a million pizzas this Sunday. In order to prepare for the onslaught of orders they are stocking up on over 2 million pounds of cheese and 350,000 pounds of pepperoni. It's not just football fans on the homeland that will be snacking on pizza. Uno Chicago Grill along with another private label pizza company will be sending 7,000 pizzas overseas to U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and Korea! Why pizza over other treats? "It's a communal food. It's meant to be shared. It's inexpensive and everyone likes it," Jeremy White, the editor-in-chief of Pizza Today magazine told The Washington Post.
