The third annual National Pizza Survey, conducted online by The Harris Poll on behalf of California Pizza Kitchen among over 2,000 Americans ages 18-plus, found that the top food Americans would choose if they could only eat one food for the rest of their lives is PIZZA (22%) – for a third year in a row. The survey, which reveals new insights into the pizza eating habits and pizza trends among Americans and Millennials, confirms that America’s love affair with pizza is still burning strong.
