No one can deny that there are many great options out there when it comes to food. Still, suppose you have to compare some of the best. In that case, many people could debate which is superior between pizza and hotdogs.
Both are pretty great, but we believe pizza is better.
In fact, we feel confident in saying that pizza is unequivocally better than hot dogs in many regards.
Don’t worry; we get that such a bold statement can’t just be taken at face value. We’ve compiled several arguments regarding why pizza is better than hotdogs in most cases.
Whether looking at that pizza can be easily delivered to your home or the more variety than hot dogs. We’re confident you’ll agree with us by the end that pizza is just better than hotdogs overall.
Pizza Has A Lot More Variety Than Hotdogs
Hot dogs are not to be confused with sausages: there’s really not a lot of variety to your typical beef hotdog.
The hotdog usually tastes the same as one that you could find anywhere else, and there are only so many toppings available. So one hotdog is going to be pretty similar to the next.
This is definitely not true about pizza, however. Pizza can be anything you want it to be. With the ability to change the ingredients used in its crust, cheese, sauce, and toppings, pizza can be savory or sweet, vegetarian or vegan, or even dessert. There’s really no limit to what you can do with it.
If you had to eat hotdogs every day for a week, that would probably grow boring pretty quickly. With pizza, you can have so much variety that you could eat that for a week and still get a somewhat different experience.
You can’t say that about too many other foods, that’s for sure!
You could literally have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert pizza. Each could have a very different flavor profile than the last.
Undoubtedly, the same cannot be said of hotdogs, so pizza definitely wins in this regard.
Pizza is a Great Party Food
Hotdogs aren’t a wrong choice for a big party or anything, but it pales in comparison to pizza for many reasons. Just think about it.
First of all, it is much easier to get pizza delivered to you than it is hotdogs, so if you need to feed a bunch of people, pizza is the way to go.
Secondly, one pizza, designed to be shared, can already feed four to eight people depending on how hungry everyone is.
Obviously, hotdogs are only intended to feed one person apiece. This also makes pizza a more cost-efficient option for feeding a large group of people.
After all, in most cases, eight hotdogs would cost more than a single pizza that could feed eight people. So the more people you need to feed, the more effective it is to buy pizza for everyone instead of hotdogs.
Most importantly, since pizza can come in so many different toppings and styles, you can definitely find a type of pizza for everyone at your party, making it much easier to accommodate all of your guests than getting hotdogs for everyone.
Pizza Delivery is a Blessing
There are probably some restaurants out there that would deliver hotdogs to you. Still, there are not that many of them. Furthermore, the ones that would do it would likely require you to use a third-party organization like Uber Eats or something, which would cost you extra.
Pizza, on the other hand, is the ultimate delivery food. Nearly any place that makes pizza also offers a delivery service as part of the package deal.
Also, comparing the popularity of dedicated pizza joints and dedicated hotdog joints, rest assured that pizza delivery is almost available no matter where you are.
So not only will a pizza craving never be disappointed, but you usually won’t have to pay extra for that delivery either. That’s pretty noteworthy when you consider how frequently you would be inclined to order pizza in most scenarios.
Pizza Is Delicious Either Hot or Cold
We are aware that some people don’t mind eating cold hotdogs, and some don’t actually like cold pizza. But for the most part, that’s not true.
Cold hotdogs are perceived as gross by most people, and cold pizza is at least tolerated.
It’s one of the best things about pizza: it is almost always delicious no matter what state it is in.
It doesn’t matter if you pull it right out of the refrigerator, cook it in the microwave, reheat it in an air fryer or stick it in the oven. It will always taste pretty good even when it isn’t fresh.
However small this is, the ability to enjoy pizza no matter what state it is most of the time is more than can be said about hotdogs or many other types of food, which is a pretty big bonus in our eyes.
Pizza Is Never Plain
A hotdog in and of itself is actually pretty plain: really, it’s just some beef and some bread. To make it something more, you have to add a lot of stuff, like mustard, ketchup, relish, and more. Pizza doesn’t have this problem.
Even the most basic of pizza, the tried and true pepperoni pizza, is never perceived as plain and uninspired. And if you did have a problem with it, it would be straightforward to add some new topping to make things totally different. Honey, anchovies, olives, whatever you want: you can add nearly anything, and it works.
Hotdogs can be beautiful in their simplicity, but often, they can just be kind of boring. However, with how many options pizza can have and how easy it is to apply those options, pizza never has to be boring.
Pizza Offers More Nutritional Variety
Don’t get us wrong; we certainly aren’t trying to imply that pizza is incredibly healthy or anything. But compared to a hotdog, which is often just meat, bread, and a condiment, pizza can offer a lot more nutritional value.
That’s because pizza includes a wide variety of ingredients: the essential ingredients, the bread, the sauce involved, and different types of cheese. But, after that, other toppings can provide you with all sorts of vitamins and minerals that a hotdog can’t, even with all of the nice extra bits.
Of course, a pizza will definitely be more calories than a hotdog since there is usually more food involved in a pizza. So even one slice is going to be more calories. But that just means you are getting more food for your money, and it will be more filling as well.
Conclusion
Hotdogs are pretty great, but pizza just has some real advantages that can’t be matched. Whether it be the delivery, customization, or the many ways it can be eaten while still tasting good, pizza has the edge in enough ways to win this competition.
