If math and science are wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
Pizza tossing can save lives.
Believe it or not, physicists are using the fine art of pizza tossing to design motors thinner than a human hair for brain surgery.
Chefs have perfected the toss of the dough, moving their hands in a circle to achieve maximum efficiency. Scientists studied their movements to design motors mimicking those circles. Except instead of tossing a rotor once a second, the motors toss them a few million times a second.

Pizza makes economics less boring.
According to the Pizza Principle, a loose law proposed by a New York lawyer back in the 1980s, the slice of a pizza has predicted the price of a subway ride since the ‘60s. Whether the parallel is alive is still debated, but pizza’s power as a barometer is indisputable.

Pizza's so perfect, it'll be the first food printed in space.
NASA is funding a 3D food printer, and the lucky recipient of the grant's first choice: pizza. A meal fit for an astronaut!

Deep-dish pizza may have more antioxidants.
Put a sock in it, Chicago-style antagonists (we’re looking at you, Jon Stewart): Chicago-style pizza can have more antioxidants than other pies because of its oven time and crust size.
Chemists fiddled with whole-wheat pizza crusts and found that longer baking times increased antioxidants up to 60%. Even cooler (or hotter?): Higher oven temperatures upped them by as much as 82%.
