This Minnesota Restaurant Is Serving Thanksgiving On A Pizza
Thanksgiving has always been my absolute favorite holiday. There's no pressure to buy gifts and nothing better than endless plates of delicious food, taking naps between meals, and, of course, a full day of football. It really is the best day of the year.
The giant spread of delicious holiday favorites—turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie—is the main event. So when I heard that a Minnesota pizzeria was serving a Thanksgiving pizza, I had to know more. Check out what this bad boy looks like below.
How Much Do Americans Eat on Thanksgiving?
Business Insider says, "Americans consume between 2,500 and 4,500 calories at the Thanksgiving table. That's the equivalent of eating between four and eight Big Macs in a single sitting."
Thanksgiving is the ultimate cheat day, so don't worry about counting calories, but save some room for the Thanksgiving pizza everyone's talking about—The Gobbler. It’s packed with all the classic holiday flavors you love.
FYI, there's always room for a slice of pizza. Americans love it—the average person in the U.S. will eat about 46 pounds of pizza each year, according to Slice Life.
