Who eats more pizza- Americans or Italians? You might guess that the US consumes the most pizza, simply because we have so many people, and you'd be right. But when you take the larger population out of the equation and figure pizza on a per capita basis, the most pizza-obsessed nation is neither the US nor Italy. It's Norway. The average person in Norway eats more than 25 pounds of pizza every year, while in the US, the average is only 23 pounds. Figured that way, the US is second, and Italy comes in fifth.
As you might guess, frozen pizza is particularly popular in Norway, but they also like homemade pizza and pizzerias. Norwegian pizza isn't like the standard American pizza, though, because the toppings reflect a Scandinavian taste. It's possible they could be heavier, too, which would explain the higher consumption in pounds. Read about Norwegian pizzas at Tasting Table. -via Fark
