Why Pizza Is The Best Food In The World?

Here’s some happy Monday news! Brum’s Big Fat Pizza Festival is les then a week away (14th September, Quantum in Digbeth)! Before you run out and book your tickets here’s 10 reasons why Pizza is indisputably the best food of all time!

Reason 1: Pizza is more healthy then a bowl of cereal!

Chelsey Amer, MS, RDN, CDN, a nutritionist based in New York, told The Daily Meal, that “a slice of pizza contains more fat and much less sugar than most cold cereals, so you will not experience a quick sugar crash.”

Reason 2: Bottomless toppings

Everyone knows that pizza is one of the best foods out there. Once you combine melted cheese with a crispy crust, tomato sauce, and basically any topping of your choosing, it becomes sort of impossible for any other food to top that. There is no limit to how many or what kind of toppings you can put on a pizza, meaning it can basically be anything you want it to be.

Reason 3: Pizza can be eaten anytime in the day!

The other amazing thing about pizza is that it’s delicious no matter what time of day you eat it. You can eat pizza for lunch, dinner, as a midnight meal, as a hungover breakfast, or even as a giant snack when you’re really feeling hungry. There is literally no wrong time to devour a pizza.

Reason 4: It’s healthy

OK, so not as healthy as a nude salad and grilled chicken, but it’s not as unhealthy as some people would have you believe. Also out of the vast variety of fast foods available, pizza is probably the healthiest and here’s why: According to Jeff Hayward in his health blog, ActiveBeat, tomatoes contain an antioxidant compound named lycopene, which helps prevent illnesses, such as heart disease and helps protect from some forms of cancer.

Some pizza companies are taking health seriously and making sure their products are suitable for those who want have dietary requirements. And the best news is Brum’s Big Fat Pizza Festival 2019 caters for this, as Gluten Free and Vegan options are all available all day, just ask the vendor on arrival.

Reason 5: Pizza helps your body absorb more lycopene

It’s no secret that tomatoes contain lots of lycopene, an antioxidant compound that helps prevent heart disease and illnesses. But eating lycopene-packed foods that also have small amounts of fat, like pizza, will make your body absorb this antioxidant much better. So, bring on the extra cheese.

Reason 7: Pizza will never judge you

Pizza has seen you at your absolute worst and never throws any shade. Whether it has witnessed you drunkenly demolish five slices after coming home from the bar or soaked up your tears as you binge ate your way through a breakup, this delicious snack has always had your back.

Reason 8: Pizza is packed with protein

Thanks to all of that melty, mouth-watering cheese, a single slice of pizza contains about 15 grams of protein, which not only gives you energy, but also helps your body repair cells and build big strong muscles. So if you’re hitting the gym hard, a few slices make the perfect cheat meal.

Reason 9:  Strike a Pizza pose

Pizza is one of the world’s most popular food. It is also the world’s most photographed food on social media.

Reason 10: You can order pizza from Space!

Pizza Hut became the first restaurant to deliver a pizza to space when it rocketed a pizza to astronaut Yuri Usachov at the International Space Station. The pizza was topped with extra spices (since tastebuds are dulled in space) and salami, so it wouldn’t mold.
