What is your Pizza Personality?
Pizza is just about as unique as people! You can personalize your pizza in almost every aspect, from how it’s baked to the various topping choices. Did you know your pizza preferences could indicate a lot more about your personality than just whether or not you like pepperoni?
The Schapiro Research Group in Atlanta Georgia conducted a national survey on pizza preferences and personality traits. As silly as it sounds, this research group has found all kinds of connections between pizza toppings and your personality!
“The findings from the national pizza survey statistically demonstrate that you can identify distinct pizza personality traits and behaviors of Americans simply by the kind of pizza they prefer and what they like to put on it,” said Beth Schapiro, Ph.D., principal of Schapiro Research Group, Inc. “When it comes to pizza, the phrase ‘you are what you eat,’ is really true” (“National Survey Suggests,” 2003).
The research has found three distinct pizza personalities: “California-style” pizza, “New York-style” pizza or “Chicago-style” pizza. Each personality has unique identifying characteristics, National Survey Suggests Pizza Choices May Reveal Politics (2003), elaborates on the three personalities:
California-style pizza lovers are creative and adventurous, preferring bold and exciting pizza flavors and toppings like BBQ chicken, Thai or Mexican. They are mostly Democrats, and while they join all pizza eaters in wanting to share a slice with Oprah or the President, they would also jump at the chance to eat pizza with Madonna and David Letterman. California-style pizza eaters prefer to spend their free time catching action-adventure flicks or reading the New York Times. They are self-proclaimed rebels and among their preferred dream jobs are book editor or author.
New York-style pizza lovers are traditionalists at heart. They prefer the old standards like sausage or pepperoni when ordering a pie. These pizza lovers would choose Oprah Winfrey and President Bush to share a slice of pizza, and are likely to spend time with their families and play sports on the weekends. New York-style pizza eaters keep up with the world by reading People and the New York Times, and are equally divided among Democrats and Republicans.
Chicago-style pizza lovers have a wild streak and like to live life to its fullest. They are more likely to be women and under 30, and prefer deep dish pizza with sausage and pepperoni with no added seasonings. Like all other pizza eaters, they would love to share pizza with Oprah Winfrey and President Bush, but if given the chance, they would share a slice with Hollywood hunk Denzel Washington. These former high school jocks and likely Republicans catch up on current events by reading USA Today, and they fantasize about being sports stars like Venus Williams, Anna Kournikova or Lance Armstrong.
