Let me start off by saying that I like pizza a lot.

I like round pizza and I like square pizza.

I like pizza where the crust is thick and I like pizza where the crust is thin.

I like pizza when it comes in a pan and I like pizza when it is made by a guy named Stan.

I also like sports, and for some reason sports just taste better when paired with pizza.

I am not sure what it is that makes pizza taste even better when sports are on. I am sure that there are graduate students seeking grants somewhere in the world to solve that very mystery.

The simple answer very well might be that it just does taste better and there is no other deeper meaning than that.

Most historians peg the arrival of the first pizza around 1000 A.D.
