30. Apparently Domino's Pizza had tested out the idea of using edible ink on their paper menus back in 2009, but they decided against it after finding out that the ink obviously wasn't edible!

50. When it comes to the most popular pizza topping in America, studies show that pepperoni is actually #1 -- and I honestly can't say that I'm surprised because who doesn't love delicious cured meat which has been marinated in a mixture of spices just so it could be as flavorful as possible?
