Pizza sort of cheats in the same way that french fries do by having a ton of components that trigger chemical responses that tell our brain that we should eat more of this. Between the casesin in the cheese, carbs from the crust, added sugars in the sauce, fats and salt, it all triggers a response similar to an opioid in how the brain feels about it.

It's definitely a fantastic food if you discount the health cost of eating it. If you're looking for the best food that balances health and taste, it's probably some type of Asian dish, but pizza is pretty universally loved if you're just going for taste.

Spinach, garlic, fresh tomato and feta is my favorite topping set when I want something a little more refreshing than greasy pepperoni, but classic pepperoni is still really good and an easy way to satisfy the vast majority of people.
