Halloween Is Big Pizza Night

20061031SliceHalloween.gifWho knew? Depending on where you live, Halloween is either the biggest or second-biggest pizza night of the year:

Halloween trails just behind Super Bowl Sunday as the busiest day of the year for many pizzerias — and it is often the single busiest day for those located in neighborhoods that are not big on football.

"Halloween breaks our records every year, particularly when it's on a weekend," said Byron Gougoumis, one of four brothers who own Pizza Rustica, with two branches in Oakland. "It's our busiest night of the year. Home delivery is insane. It's got to be the parties and the trick-or-treating."

Makes sense. Parents busy prepping their kids for an evening of candy crusading don't necessarily want to—or have time to—cook.
