When the weather is cold and gray, there’s nothing you’d rather do than stay inside and enjoy your favorite comfort food. For many, that means pizza. But why is that? What is it about pizza that puts it at the top of our list of foods that we turn to when we need something for dinner that we can rely on to make us feel better? Our team at Alley Cat Pizzeria has some ideas, and we’re going to share them with you.

Here are our top reasons why pizza remains a favorite go-to comfort food.

It’s familiar.

The most important factor of any comfort food is familiarity. We all have memories of birthday parties, sleepovers, post-game dinners, and other events that were marked by a stack of pizzas. We also remember quieter moments sharing a pizza with a close friend or loved one.

You can have it how you like it.

Another important aspect of comfort food is getting what you want. Pizza is versatile, and you can top it however you like. Stick with the classics, like pepperoni or sausage, load it up with everything you love, or be controversial with pineapple. It’s your comfort food; no one is allowed to tell you what to get!

It has a little bit of everything.

Pizza is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Warm melted cheese, tangy tomato sauce, and a crispy and chewy crust. Together, they blend to make a gastronomical experience unlike any other.

Pizza brings us together.

Pizza is party food. It’s a food that everybody likes and doesn’t get in the way of whatever else you have set up. It’s also a reason to get together. Is there a friend you haven’t seen in a while and keep meaning to get together with? Sounds like it’s time to catch up over pizza.

Everything about it is easy.

When you’re in the mood for comfort food, you’re usually looking for something easy, too. Pizza absolutely fits that bill. It’s a complete meal all on its own, and cleanup is a breeze. If you’re by yourself, there’s no one to stop you from eating right out of the box. Even if you decide to use plates, there’s no silverware or serving dishes needed.
