Pizza Nova shares Halloween pizza facts ahead of one of busiest days for pizzerias

Halloween is one of the busiest days of the year for pizza shops across Canada.

As families fuel up before trick-or-treating (or recover afterward), pizza becomes the ultimate crowd pleaser.

Ontario chain Pizza Nova shares these facts for pizzerias to consider:

• Halloween consistently ranks as one of the busiest pizza days of the year.
• Many families order pizza between 4 and 6 p.m., right before heading out for candy.
• On Halloween night, delivery drivers cover more ground with orders coming in at double the normal rate.

Pizza Nova reports in a news release that Honey Garlic is its most popular chicken wing sauce on this day, pepperoni is the most popular pizza topping, its call centre runs a Halloween costume contest and 70 per cent of customer service agents dress up on Halloween.
