Few foods speak to the American soul like pizza. Pizzas have become the most popular food in America with entire football fields eaten daily. In North Carolina you can find a pizza places all over. You can make pizza however you like it. It doesn’t have to be unhealthy, maybe you use it to pile on the veggies for the kids.
