Sao Paulo is considered, hands down, the Pizza Capital of the World, besting even New York City. It is worth mentioning that Italians make up the largest group of immigrants in Sao Paulo, eclipsing even the Portuguese population there by almost two to one.

The Italians settled all over Sao Paulo; however, mainly in the Bras district. Once there, they began making their pastas and pizzas, and small pizzerias began to pop up all around the city. Today, according to the Joint Association of Sao Paulo Pizzerias, there are approximately 7.2 thousand recognized pizzerias in Sao Paulo, with another 1.5 thousand unofficial restaurants, bringing the total to almost 9 thousand pizzerias in the Sao Paulo area. I am not a math whiz, but I looked up the land size of the Sao Paulo Metropolitan area, which in miles is approximately 3,067 square miles. I divided that number by 9,000 pizzerias, and got an answer indicating that you can find a pizzeria in Sao Paulo on just about every street corner. It is said that over a million and a half pizzas are consumed in Sao Paulo every day, and that the pizza industry pulls in over $4 billion dollars annually. That's a lot of pizza.

Now that we've pretty much established why Sao Paulo is considered the Pizza Capital of the World, perhaps you would like to know what ingredients are used to make this some of the best pizza you will ever have in your life.

The world record for eating pizzas is 35 in 6 minutes, so the person who set the record must have had a favourite. For sure the most popular pizza in the world is 'pizza margherita', simply mozzarella cheese and tomatoes.
