So, apparently it’s National Pizza Week. No one really knows who invented it—probably someone with a deep love of carbs and cheese—but it runs Jan. 11 through Jan. 17, so that’s all the excuse you need to grab a slice.
We encourage you to celebrate by listening to win 4 large pizzas from Wildfire Pizza in Webb City after you join Classic Hits 93.9's At Work Network!
Pizza’s been on quite a journey—born from ancient flatbreads, perfected in Naples, then immigrated to America and took over our hearts (and lunch breaks). But lately, it’s fallen a few notches on the “most worshipped foods” list. Burgers, coffee, chicken, even tacos are outpacing it. Outrageous, I know.
The data says Americans spent about $31 billion on pizza in 2025. Sounds impressive until you hear we dropped more than $110 billion on burgers. Add inflation, and even pizza’s getting, well, a little doughy around the middle—prices are up 22% in five years. People are now ordering smaller pies and fewer toppings. Tragic.
But there’s hope! Some spots are dishing out deals for National Pizza Week. So check your local pizzeria—you might save a few bucks and score that extra topping guilt-free. Consider it self-care, with extra cheese.
