I was surprised to read that 90% of adults eat pizza at least once a week. AIBU

I am surprised if you take into account all demographics. For example do the over 65's eat pizza once a week?

AYankinSpanx · 13/03/2017 19:42

Amazing how many people confuse health and ethics with snobbery

I don't get this?

motherinferior · 13/03/2017 19:42

It's about right for us.

A good pizza is a thing of glory. A not so good one is an adequate weekend option when nobody can be arsed to cook.

I should probably point out that I am an excellent cook, force veg upon my hapless fellow-inmates, but get knackered. DP is a pretty adequate cook but also gets knackered.

Ellieboolou27 · 13/03/2017 19:47

I'm in the 10% I don't get the fuss with pizza at all.

KeemaNaan · 13/03/2017 19:54

I love pizza and we often have it once a week. Delicious stuff.

Foldedtshirt · 13/03/2017 19:55

I'm going to try DontTouchTheMoustache's yogurt base.
It does seem like a lot of pizza eaters! Did op ever come back with the source. Dcs probably have it weekly but I don't, I quite like it but its very stodgy/ filling.

When the kids lived at home, we would love a takeaway pizza together, once a week or fortnight.
The heavy base, double cheese, proccesed meat ones are pretty bad, but a skinny base with veg or mostly veg really isn't terrible. It's if you add garlic bread, fries, pop and ice cream etc. That's when it gets ridiculous.

Most of the 90% who eat pizza once a week, could be just having one slice with salad. It doesn't have to be a massive calorie binge.

PickledCauliflower · 13/03/2017 20:03

And yes, it is very filling. I found the kids enjoyed pizza but didn't eat a lot of it.

Chewbecca · 13/03/2017 20:06

In the 90% here

DH & DS have it takeaway from Domino's about once a fortnight when I am eating out with friends (I'm not keen on Domino's so they have to have it when I'm out.

We have ready made ones by Pizza Express as an easy family meal from Waitrose whenever they're on special offer which is about once a fortnight. We have 2 big ones between 3.

Then probably about once a month we have Sunday lunch at a gorgeous local pizzeria which sells fabulous pesto garlic bread and spinach and egg pizzas. Well, they're all lovely pizzas there & we've tried almost all of them actually but the spinaci is my fave that I get cravings for.

I really want a napolitana pizza now. Bursting with olives and anchovies and dripping with mozzarella. I am prepared to eat a large garlicky salad alongside.

Sallystyle · 13/03/2017 20:12

About once every three weeks here. We make it ourselves and it is lovely.

We did go through a stage where we had it once a week.

Sallystyle · 13/03/2017 20:16

I need to change that to once a fortnight as I forgot about the local takeaway we often get.

MrsJBaptiste · 13/03/2017 20:16

We couldn't believe it in this house, 90%? Really?

Then we remembered that the kids had pizzas last Thursday as a quick tea. Then yesterday they had Papa John's as we were getting a curry later on. So maybe we are in the 90%!

Note to self, no pizza on the planner this week...

Giraffeski · 13/03/2017 20:18

We have a WOOD FIRED PIZZA OVEN in our back garden

Four out of five of us in our family are coeliac and three of those are also allergic to milk so we have perfected the best ever pizza dough and vegan cheese recipes. We probably have pizza once a week in the summer, less often when it's nippy out

Chinnygirl · 13/03/2017 20:25

I don't think I even eat it once per six months Shock
I didn't realise that it was such a staple food for most people. Ah well, it's fine of course.

corythatwas · 13/03/2017 20:26

I'm fond of pizza but I certainly don't get round to eating it once a week- too many other foods I am also fond of greedy pig emoticon

corythatwas · 13/03/2017 20:28

They don't seem to do curried beef and banana pizzas here though. Is that exclusive to Syrian-run pizzerias in Scandinavia? Very nice, anyway.

Unicorn81 · 13/03/2017 20:29

Every Friday, its our treat for the week and normally have leftovers for Saturday. Its actually the biggest meal all week as we are terrible eaters

RedToothBrush · 13/03/2017 20:29

Wait until the great tomato shortage of 2019.

Pizzas will cost a small fortune.

It'll be cabbage and potatoes all round.

user123346 · 13/03/2017 20:39

At least once a week. When naughty; its Pizza Hut ( I prefer it cold). If being healthy pitta bread home made pizzas.

Cartright · 13/03/2017 20:42

I haven't had pizza for ages...however I have now added pizza to my online shop.

Floofborksnootandboop · 13/03/2017 20:47

We have pizza party Fridays Blush so pizza once a week every week for us! We do change it up every week though, so some weeks we order pizza from either dominos, Pizza Hut, papa John etc, other weeks we get some from Asda and some weeks we make our own!

ScaryMonstersandSuperCreeps · 13/03/2017 20:53

Domino's for Wilf and I while we watch Chelsea v Man Utd!!

90% eat pizza at least once a week
FruitCider · 13/03/2017 20:54

I had pizza twice on Saturday!

Planned dinner was pizza, then got drunk and ordered dominos! Whoops!!!!

There must be a dog whistle on Mumsnet that only people obsessed with showing their healthy eating credentials can hear.
