<\/p>\nA STUDY has revealed the exact amount of pizza Brits will eat in their adult life – and they have no regrets. <\/p>\n
Research commissioned by Tabasco found people will munch through 5,208 slices of pizza over the course of their adult life \u2013 but 83 per cent have no regrets about the amount they eat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A poll of 2,000 adults found 12 per cent eat up to three pizzas each week \u2013 with between 6pm and 8pm the most popular time to chow down.<\/p>\n
This equates to an average of \u00a321.40 a month on the beloved Italian classic \u2013 or \u00a3256.80 a year.<\/p>\n
In fact, 40 per cent are picking pizza over other meals and snacks with 18 per cent saying they\u2019re likely to reach for a slice over other takeaway treats like kebabs (three per cent) or an Indian takeaway (15 per cent), because it makes them happy (42 per cent).<\/p>\n
With 57 per cent\u00a0citing\u00a0it as their \u2018comfort food\u2019.<\/p>\n
The research, commissioned by TABASCO Brand to celebrate national pizza month, also found Friday (24 per cent) and Saturday (21 per cent) are the preferred days to tuck into the dish.<\/p>\n A spokesperson for the hot sauce maker said: \u201cPizza is an easy way to bring people together as the ultimate dish to share with friends and family.<\/p>\n \u201cGreat for any occasion, the cheesy goodness with an added dash of hot sauce is a great way to light up any movie night or end of week celebration.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n Ordering it to your home (46 per cent) is the preferred location to eat pizza, as opposed to at a restaurant (18 per cent).<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The study, carried out via OnePoll, also found the nation\u2019s top \u2018pizza moments\u2019 are a movie night at home (36 per cent) and after a night on the town (29 per cent).<\/p>\n Pizza-lovers are also growing more adventurous, with 48 per cent experimenting with different flavours and toppings.<\/p>\n Citing combinations like hot sauce and mayo (17 per cent), hot sauce and honey (15 per cent) and hot sauce and queso (13 per cent) as the blends they\u2019re most likely to explore.\u00a0<\/p>\n And when it comes to toppings, mushrooms (37 per cent), mozzarella (37 per cent) and onions (33 per cent) come in the top three \u2013 with pepperoni (31 per cent per cent) and garlic (26 per cent) just behind.<\/p>\n The TABASCO Brand has teamed up with Yard Sale Pizza to allow Londoners to share custom messages to friends and family via its Yard Sale x TABASCO\u00ae Pizza Post.<\/p>\n The spokesperson added: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see that people are open to experimenting with some seriously hot combinations.<\/p>\n \u201cPizza is a great medium for this. Its cheesy base counteracts the heat from the hot sauce, allowing people to try out flavours that seem spicier than they\u2019re used to.<\/p>\n \u201cPlus, the acidity of the vinegar cuts through the rich toppings, deepening the flavour and taste of the pizza. Together, the combination can light up even the simplest of pizzas.\u201d<\/p>\n 1. A movie night at home \u2013 36 per cent<\/p>\n 2. On a Friday night after a long week at work \u2013 29 per cent<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0When watching sports on TV \u2013 20 per cent<\/p>\n 4.\u00a0As a payday treat \u2013 17 per cent<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0Getting in after a night out \u2013 17 per cent<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0The day you get back from a holiday \u2013 17 per cent<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0The day you move house and don\u2019t want to cook \u2013 17 per cent<\/p>\n 8.\u00a0As a celebration \u2013 like on exam results day \u2013 15 per cent<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0Your birthday \u2013 15 per cent<\/p>\n 10.\u00a0Leftovers as a treat lunch at work \u2013 14 per cent<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24239717-1696320008112.jpg\")
