9 Reasons Why Pizza is the Only Boyfriend You’ll Ever Need

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tampa chapter.

October is National Pizza Month and coincidently, National Boyfriend Day was October 3rd. So basically this is the universe’s way of telling us that pizza is the best boyfriend a girl could ever have (not that we didn’t already know that). How many nights have you gone home from a night out and fell asleep cuddling with a Domino’s box or had the warm company of a slice of pepperoni while watching The Notebook for the 56th time on a lazy Sunday afternoon? I know it can’t just be me. So just in case you haven’t taken a leap of faith into a committed relationship with pizza yet, here is why you should:

1. Pizza comes in all different shapes and sizes. So whatever your “taste” in pizza is, there is something out there for you. Tall, dark, and handsome deep dish, anyone?

2. Unlike dealing with hot and cold emotions or signals, it’s the one thing you don’t mind eating hot or cold.

3. Whenever you need it, pizza is always just a phone call away, no questions asked.

4. Pizza is always there for a date night.

5. Pizza is the only thing that is allowed to be super cheesy.

6. No matter if it’s morning, noon, or night, pizza will be right there beside you.

7. It is okay to have a “side piece” in the freezer for another day.

8. Pizza goes with anything, anywhere, anytime. It is a good companion for any occasion: a wedding, a Wednesday afternoon trip to Target, a Monday night football game, or a 3am snack on Saturday.

9. Pizza can heal almost anything.

So don’t worry ladies, in a world where there is pizza, there is never a truly single woman.

As she refuses to grow up, you can find her watching Disney movies, planning trips to the zoo to feed the giraffes, eating dessert for dinner, and coloring any chance she gets. Buzzfeed, Netflix, anything coconut, and wine are also some of her guilty pleasures.
