Excerpt

Pizza is a popular go-to option for last-minute meals and get-togethers because it is convenient, affordable and easy to serve. It has also been ranked as the fourth most craved food (1). As a mixed food item, pizza is a good source of many nutrients. However, many of the qualities that make pizza craveable may lead to excess intake of some nutrients that are of public health concern – saturated fat, sodium, and sugar (2). Given its popularity, characterizing who consumes pizza and its contribution to dietary intake of the U.S. population is informative. The purpose of this report is to describe current data on pizza consumption among the U.S. population and its contribution to energy and nutrient intake. For this report, dietary intake data from What We Eat in America, NHANES 2017-March 2020 Prepandemic were used.
