According to the National Retail Federation, roughly 189 million people will watch the Super Bowl featuring the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers on Feb. 7, and viewers will spend an average of $82.19 on electronics, apparel, and food for the game this year, up from $77.88 in 2015.

The State of the Pizza Industry

A Inside Look at the Trends and Changes in 2016

Another year has come and gone, leaving behind new trends that have the potential to reshape how the pizza world conducts business. It is safe to say that America loves its pizza. As one of the most lucrative food industries, pizza sales in the United States topped $44.43 billion this past year.
