Saturday the 9th is National Pizza Day, which, frankly, feels like it's a pretty legitimate reason for celebrating, I mean who does not love a great slice from your favorite pizza place?

Anyway, in honor of the holiday, here are some new pizza stats for you from yougov.com.

98% of Americans like pizza and 54% of us even say we LOVE IT.

Almost one in three people eat it at least once a week.

33 million Americans would pick pizza as their last meal on Earth and 26 million would give up getting-it-on for a year for unlimited pizza.

The most popular toppings are pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, and bacon.  And the least popular are anchovies, eggplant, pineapple, and artichokes.
