Pizza has inspired countless internet memes of adoration, while also igniting fierce debate on what the “right way” to eat a slice is. The dish has played a central role in a multitude of movies and cinematic works. And online, there’s an entire slice of retail (pardon the pun) devoted to the selling of pizza-themed swag, from tracksuits to bathing suits to bags.
(Heck, the pizza clothing trend was so big that, at one point, celebrities were seen rocking pizza apparel, including the likes of megastars Beyonce and Katy Perry.)
Beyond inspiring the donning of pizza garb, however, the food has also galvanized celebrities, athletes, writers and other renowned persons to speak out, or write, about their unrequited passion for the dish. And often, their musings on the cheesy dish are spot-on and hilarious.
