I think everyone loves pizza, and pizza's popularity has proven to be pandemic proof. While many restaurants continue to suffer during these tough times, smaller pizza places are growing and have found ways to survive COVID-19. Check this out, almost 2,000 new pizza places have opened during the pandemic, and some restaurants added pizza to their menus as they started to do delivery.

Tastercooking.com says during tough times in our nation’s history, pizza has always been there.

Now, during a once-in-a-generation pandemic, pizza is once again answering the call. Slice, a quickly growing app that runs takeout and delivery for 12,000 independent pizzerias across the country, saw orders almost double between April and May, and the trend has continued at a similar pace through the end of the year.
