Who doesn’t love a delicious pizza? It’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser that brings joy to our taste buds. Domino’s, a popular pizza chain, has recently revealed the most ordered additional pizza toppings of this year, and the results might surprise you.
The Controversy of Pineapple
Pepperoni and roast chicken have emerged as the clear winners in the battle of the toppings. With an astonishing 8,062,682 requests for extra pepperoni and 6,641,509 for roast chicken, it’s evident that these two toppings hold a special place in the hearts of pizza lovers.
But what about the controversial pineapple? Despite the fierce debate surrounding its presence on a pizza, there were 3,633,505 orders for more of it. Surprisingly, pineapple outshined classics like extra cheese and jalapenos. The age-old dispute over whether pineapple belongs on a pizza remains divided among the masses.
The Great Divide
The debate over pineapple on pizza even fuels a North-South divide within the UK. South Wales, particularly the town of Caerphilly, takes the crown for adding the most pineapple per capita. On the other hand, northerners, represented by Sunderland and South Shields, prefer to keep pineapple far away from their beloved pizza.
Regional Tastes and Preferences
Pizza preferences also vary across different regions of the country. The North West embraces their love for heat, with 16% of the population identifying as hot sauce fanatics, more than any other region. Meanwhile, their North East neighbors prefer the classic garlic and herb dip as the ultimate crust dunker. Yorkshire and The Humber stick to tradition with a tomato sauce base, while Northern Ireland dares to explore more adventurous toppings for their post-hangover pick-me-up.
Pizza Nation
It’s no surprise that London consumes more pizza than any other region, with the average person enjoying it three times a month. However, the South East takes the crown for the biggest single order, an astonishing 1,163 pizzas.
The Ultimate Pizza Experience
Sam Wilson, a representative from Domino’s, expressed delight and excitement in uncovering the UK’s pizza preferences. Whether it’s pineapple, pepperoni, or plain old cheese and tomato, there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy your pizza. Pizza is a proven mood booster, whether it’s on match days or satisfying the weird and wonderful tastes of the nation. Pizza truly is the ultimate crowd pleaser.
