Pizza. The Disk of Life. Man’s Best Friend. The Human Lifeforce. Call it what you want, but pizza is bae and forever will be for these reasons.

1. It will always be there for you, no matter the time of day.

Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Midnight snack? Just because? Pizza is always the right choice.

2. Hot or Cold, Pizza’s got your back.

Leftover in the fridge or fresh out of the oven, pizza is ready to go and tastes fantastic.

3. It is willing to change for you.

Not feeling the pepperoni? That’s chill. Pizza’s got that ham and pineapple. Deciding to go vegetarian? You do you, boo. Pizza supports you and is willing to change to keep you satisfied.

4. Pizza is always down to Netflix and Chill.

There will never be any confusion about what “netflix and chill” entails when pizza comes over.  

5. All your friends like it.

Heck, even strangers like it.

6. It’s been with you through thick and thin. Bagel Bites, Lunchables, and pizza-day during school lunches all helped us get through so much.

The young and wild years of elementary school, the awkward phase of middle school, and the growing pains of high school. Pizza has been there to help celebrate the good-times and the bad. If that doesn’t make pizza bae, then I don’t know what does.

7. Parent’s approve.

Unlike other partners, meeting the parents ain’t no thang when pizza is your bae. Heck, even bring them along to the family reunion! Everyone loves pizza.

8. Pizza pats your back…er, your stomach, when you’re feeling blue.

You might regret it later when you feel greasy and gross, but in the moment pizza can solve any problem. The fluffy and crispy crust, the stringy cheese, the hot pepperoni: pizza melts your worries away into a cheesy-stuffed slice of delicious pie.

9. It doesn’t care what you look like.

Have you been in your pajamas all day? Who cares. Did you neglect to take a shower today? Are you wearing the pizza? Who cares, cause pizza sure doesn’t.

10. It’s the life of the party.

You can’t deny that pizza completes the party. Everyone wants a slice or two of that action. 

Make sure to spend some quality time with your bae and let them know just how much you appreciate them. Call up Domino’s, drive up to Little Caesar’s, or hit up campus Food2You and enjoy every cheesy warm piece.
