A. It's not good for you — but we love it anyway

We're living in a time when health-conscious food options become more accessible by the day. That's great — nutritious foods certainly have their place at the table — but sometimes you just want to chow down on something greasy. Hello pepperoni pizza!

B. It's universal

Pepperonis are the indisputable king of the pizza topping world, and for good reason — everyone likes pepperoni pizza! Better yet, every neighborhood has pepperoni pizza in a tiny shop, at a gas station store or online. You can get your pepperoni pizza fix, anywhere and anytime.

C. It's got all the food groups

We can't argue that pepperoni pizza is healthy for you (see point "A"), but if you're trying to convince yourself, remember that pizza has all of the important food groups: fruits, veggies, meat, dairy and grain.
