According to Ed Levine, the author of "Pizza: A Slice of Heaven: The Ultimate Pizza Guide and Companion," Americans consume nearly $33 billion worth of pizza annually. However, it wasn't always like this. According to Dr. Michael Marino and Dr. Margaret Crocco, pizza became popular in post-Word War II when suburbanization transformed cities, fast-food and take-out options became readily available, and more women entered the workforce.

There are even case studies about the historical implications of pizza within America. Researchers say that pizza is connected with the history of immigration, cultural exchange and the growth of cities.
