A delicious dish among all, pizza federates as much as it divides. Between fine dough and thick dough, cream base or tomato base, the clans clash. Fortunately, rigorous studies shed light on the subject using statistics that make it possible to determine, more or less objectively, which pizzas are most the consumed and successful.
The most popular pizzas in the world: those that everyone agrees
You probably tell yourself that it is impossible to reach a consensus, moreover on a global scale, on the vast subject of pizzas, even though you tirelessly try to decide between Margherita and Prosciutto at every pizza night with your friends.
In Switzerland, for instance, it is precisely these two pizzas that would respectively occupy the first and second place on the podium, followed closely by the Hawaiian pizza, which is also popular in Switzerland.
There are many lovers of cheese of all kinds among the Swiss. This may explain why a pizza like the Four Cheeses, which sometimes goes so far as to contain even more varieties of cheese than its name allows - the Guinness World Records can attest to this — has been just as successful. However, on a larger scale, it is definitely the Margherita pizza that wins all the praise. Minimalist pizza par excellence, with its tangy tomato base, melting mozzarella and aromatic basil, the Margherita can hardly disappoint and is even suitable for a vegetarian diet.
How not to adore him then ? Its only detractors are surely the fans of well-stocked and carnivorous pizzas, like the generous Pepperoni with chorizo that is also one of the most popular and consumed pizzas in the world or the daring BBQ which combines chicken and bacon like a burger.
The different types of pizza around the world: a history of national and regional specialties
Still in Switzerland, the Calzone would be on the fourth place of the most consumed pizza.
Simple and effective, with its characteristic shape, the Calzone originates from Puglia, Italy, and proves that regional recipes also have the potential to become world famous and consumed! In the Italian capital, it is rather the pizza al taglio that is on the rise. Certainly, Italians like to play with the shapes of their pizzas, since the pizza al taglio is rectangular and designed to be cut into slices, like in New York where pizzas are often eaten in "slices".
In the United States too, pizza comes in several versions, more or less decadent. For example, the Chicago deep dish pizza has a crust enriched with cheese, while the dough of the Greek pizza, originating in New England and not Athens, is accompanied by a good dose of olive oil. In Switzerland, a pizza like the Savoyarde will delight fans of rich pizzas, with its cream, potatoes, bacon bits and Tartiflette cheese.
