We've long suspected it to be true, but now we know - pizza is the most Instagrammed food on the planet.

The research, conducted by Italian PR agency Klaus Davi, scanned the length and breadth of the social media platform and concluded that over 17,000,000 photos of pizza have been posted.

As for the location of said pizzas, New York naturally came out on top with 6.1% of all pizza photos being snapped there. The study was conducted to help the campaign to have pizza added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage Program. We actually can't fathom why pizza isn't in this category already, but whatever.

Although it's estimated that the average American will eat thirteen kilos of pizza a year, the second most popular food on Instagram wasn't pizza pies. Sushi accounted for 12,000,000 photos on Instagram. But we're not here to talk about raw fish.

We're here to celebrate pizza. So let's celebrate it by posting a load of pizza photos we dug up on Instagram.
