Pizza Hut is expecting a 50 percent increase in business for the big game over a typical Sunday –that means that Pizza Hut will receive over 1.2 million orders through online, phone, text and iPhone ordering. To visualize all those orders for pizza, pasta and wings, the Pizza Hut research team pulled together some unique stats that demonstrate how a hungry nation of football fans gets fed: · On game day, Pizza Hut will sell customers their favorite pizzas – to the tune of 1.7 million pizzas – enough to cover more than 45 football fields. · If all of the Pizza Hut employees working were lying head to toe, they would stretch almost the entire distance between Miami and Key West, Fla. -- equivalent to covering 28 football fields. · Pepperoni is the favorite pizza topping—60 percent of Americans will be eating pepperoni on their Pizza Hut pizza during the big game. Italian sausage is the second favorite topping, followed by ham. · Phone orders are the favorite ordering method, with over 80 percent of orders placed over the phone.
