Pizza: The Greatest Food There Ever Was

93% of Americans have eaten pizza in the last month. People have a variety of options when choosing something fantastic to eat, with foods like hamburgers presenting a fair fight, however no food can quite compete with pizza. Both Earl Wilson in, “The Pizza Phenomenon”, and Heather Her in, “Worlds Best Food: The Pizza Story”, discuss what exactly makes pizza wonderful. With a variety of choices and an undeniably delicious taste, pizza is the best food in the world.

Though it appears pizza is the best food in the world, some argue that hamburgers are in fact the best food. According to Chester Jones, “Hamburgers are the most amazing food because they are an absolute American classic”(10). While hamburgers are an American classic with fast food chains such as McDonalds being some of the most popular restaurants in America, does this necessarily make it the best? Although hamburgers are an American classic, pizza is one of the most popular foods around the world. Loved by people of all ages in countries across the world, hamburgers may be enjoyable, but they are simply no match for pizza.
