About This Quiz

If a pizza place offers 10 topping choices, then you can make 1024 different types of pizza at that one place alone. More toppings mean more options. Crust types, maybe spices or sauce changes and the number just keeps going up. It's conceivable that one really good pizza place with a lot of options could have a few thousand different ways to make a pizza.

That's pretty amazing, right? But it's also valuable information. Pizza is such a popular food because of that great range of diversity. A burger usually has the smallest handful of variations available - do you want pickles and lettuce and ketchup? You could never get thousands of options. You can never make it so individual. Not like you can with a pizza. Pizza is the culinary equivalent of humanity at large! A wide variety of tastes and appearances. Diversity made delicious!

We're so confident that we can interpret what your pizza choices mean that if you help us build a perfect pizza right here, we'll be able to use that information to tell you what your dream job is. Who knew pizza was so informative? We did! So grab your mozzarella and take the quiz!
