If you were to name the desires that all people have in common, food would be at the top of the list. And if there was ever a food that people agreed upon, it’s pizza. Pizza is the world’s most perfect food, containing all the major groups, and the dish people want if they could only eat one thing for the rest of their lives. Add in that someone will make one for you and even bring it to you, and you’ve got something special. That’s true even when we don’t eat the pizza ourselves. Andrew Gruttadaro at The Ringer put together a tournament bracket of famous “pizza moments” that penetrated our shared experiences.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
As you can see, the pizza moments have been broken up into four regions: In the Movies, On TV, In Sports, and In Life. Each pizza moment was then seeded based on my general opinion of its popularity and recognizability. Because Pizza Day is only 24 hours long, we do not have enough time to stage a popular vote. Instead, I will be deciding the winners of each matchup based on a combination of things: the moment’s popularity and notoriety, the moment’s nostalgia factor, the prominence of the pizza in the moment, how delicious the pizza looks in the moment, and what the moment says about pizza. If you disagree with my pizza moment takes and the outcome of this bracket, then you should make your own. (I genuinely mean this, with no ill will: Pizza is for everyone, and therefore everyone should be allowed to construct their own pizza moments bracket.)
