When it comes to pizza, it’s pretty hard to pass up a slice or two when offered. But does this junk food fan-favorite hold more power over us than satisfying late-night cravings? It turns out Americans love pizza so much they’d be willing to stop having sex for it — as long as the offer includes a year of free pizza, that is.

Making pizza at home is also a sweet, low-key date night activity — especially with the rising cost of pizza due to inflation, the survey notes. Thirty-five percent replied that they liked getting creative in the kitchen with pizza ingredients because it’s a way to spend quality time with friends and family.
