Pizza – A College Kid’s Staple

pizzaMost college students find that one of the first things they miss about home is their mother’s cooking.  Of course, nobody wants to take their mother with them to college.  So, they set off in search of a way to satisfy their hunger.  One solution can be found in the grocery store freezer, around the corner, and can be delivered with a phone call the solution is pizza.  Therefore, it is no wonder that most college students will tell you that this is their favorite food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  When college students come home for the summer, they appreciate eating up home cooking from their mom, but they will still want to enjoy pizza regularly.

There are basically five simple reasons for college students and others, to love pizza and include it in their diet regularly.

  1. Taste

Pizza is a really tasty food that comes in a lot of different varieties and made with numerous different types of ingredients – everything from shrimp to pineapple, even ice cream and chocolate, so it can even be eaten for dessert, too. You would have to try really hard to find that you don’t like any kind of pizza whatsoever. There are a variety of crust types available also from thin crusts that cut back on calories to a thick bread crust that makes pizza very filling.

  1. Price

This is a really economical type of food that is quite suitable for students who are on a budget.  For this reason, it plays a very important role in students’ lives.  Not only is it perfect for gatherings where students can split the bill amongst themselves but you will also find that pizzerias have promotions, discounts, coupons, and even buy one get one free options available. When back home, students may still be on a budget while they work for the next school year’s spending money.

  1. Socialization

Though parents don’t want to think about it, college life includes more than studying, college activities, club meetings, and college sports. There is partying and drinking and nothing goes better with pizza than beer. Pizza is part of many aspects of social life on campuses and when students come home and get together with the friends at home.

  1. Availability

Students usually begin studying or getting ready to go out late at night.  Thus, most students eat at non-traditional times while in college.  Pizza is usually very accessible at these times, which is one of the many reasons why it is usually the first choice of food. Even if a student doesn’t want to order out, they can still find a few minutes to heat up a frozen pizza to enjoy.

  1. Leftovers

Another reason why pizza is so popular amongst college students is that whenever you can’t finish the entire pizza you can easily put the leftover pizza in the refrigerator, and then it will be there whenever you do get hungry again.  It can easily be warmed up in the microwave or even it cold for breakfast the next morning.

When you live in the Miami, Florida or Davie, Florida area you can eat in at Mama Jennie’s Pizzeria or order pizza to be delivered. When you want something different and more substantial for lunch or dinner, Mama Jennie’s Restaurant and Catering has a variety of Italian dishes available.
