In no German city is more pizza ordered than in Hamburg, reveals the “Pizza Report” of the delivery service pizza.de. Read here why the Hanseatic city is the pizza stronghold and why the average German pizza is not eaten at the kitchen table.

According to a current TNS Emnid survey commissioned by pizza.de, every second German count’s pizza as his favorite food. In 2014 alone, an impressive 20 million pizzas went over the virtual counter on the largest German pizza ordering portal.

10 facts about pizza

1. Seven times as many pizzas are ordered in Hamburg as the national average

Not fish sandwiches or Labskaus, but pizza is the favorite dish of the Northern Lights. According to pizza.de, this is due to the large presence of the pizza chains Joey’s and Smileys. Joey’s was acquired by Dominoes in 2016. The people in Rhineland-Palatinate are the least likely to order.

2. Pizza is eaten on the couch

Two-thirds of all women surveyed and more than half of the men surveyed eat their pizza on the sofa – by hand, of course.

3. Pizza is cheapest in Essen and most expensive in Stuttgart

According to the so-called salami pizza index, customers in Stuttgart have to shell out 8.36 euros for the classic pizza, while in Essen it is only 4.82 euros.

4. Pepperoni pizza is the most popular

Almost every third pizza in Germany is ordered with salami. This is followed by the vegetarian variant Pizza-Margherita.

5. Pizza is man food

More than two-thirds of all pizzas are ordered by men.

6. The average pizza customer is called Christian

He is a student and lives in Hamburg, and of course, he likes to eat his pizza salami on the sofa.

7. Most pizzas are ordered at 6:30 p.m. on Sundays

Sundays and public holidays are – logically – the big battle days in the pizza industry. The exception is New Year’s Day: Here the order peak is already reached at 1 p.m. Pizza for a late hangover breakfast is hard to beat…

8. The drink with the pizza is as unhealthy as possible

 

Classic when ordering a pizza: please add a bottle of Coca-Cola. Greasy cheese, simple carbs, and bottled sugar bombs make for a figure-busting combo—so don’t overdo the pizza couch sessions!

9. The biggest pizza was made in Italy

The record flat dough baked by a whole army of pizza bakers in Rome in 2012 had a whopping 40 meters in diameter.

10. Pizza could be delivered by drone in the future

In 2014, a British pizza chain started its first test run, which went satisfactorily. However, it will be some time before drones knock on our window instead of the pizza delivery boy because the commercial use of drones is currently still subject to any legal restrictions.

Handkerchiefs, pizza boxes, books: can all of that really go in the paper bin? inFranken.de explains popular recycling mistakes – and lists what really can go in the waste paper.

Separating paper waste correctly: This is how you know what can go in the waste paper

Since some types of paper are coated, not all types are equally suitable for waste paper. In general, coated types of paper are not allowed in the waste paper bin. The “tear test” can be used to determine whether the paper is coated. The product is torn and observed to see whether a wafer-thin film can be seen at the tear. If this is the case, the material is coated. However, if fibers can be seen during the tear test, the paper is not coated and it can be recycled – i.e. put in the waste paper bin.

Paper waste is usually collected in paper bins but also at recycling centers. The waste is then taken to a sorting facility where, for example, cardboard is separated from mixed paper. In order to recycle the material, it is dissolved and shredded. The resulting pulp is then dewatered, dried and rolled out into paper webs. Then new products can be made.

For example, new newspaper, office paper, toilet paper and cardboard can be made from the recycled paper.

It really should go in the paper bin

There are a number of paper products that can usually be disposed of in the waste paper bin without any problems.

The following list of permitted waste for the waste paper bin should be clarified with the respective municipality if anything is unclear.
newspapers
magazines
catalogues
Books
brochures
writing paper
cardboard boxes
cardboard
paper packaging
shoe boxes

That doesn’t belong in the paper bin

However, there are also products that contain paper that should never end up in the paper bin. Many people make the mistake of throwing them in the bin.

In any case, soiled paper, coated material or lightweight packaging must not go into the waste paper bin.
Dirty paper
pizza boxes
sticker
labels
carbon and carbon paper
photos
beverage cartons
handkerchiefs
toilet paper
Glued paper and cardboard
napkins
wallpapers
wax paper

Where can I get a waste paper bin from?

In some regions, the price of the bin is already included in the fees for the residual waste container. In many cities or districts, you can already apply for the bins using an online form. Otherwise, you can usually find the right contact person for waste disposal in your municipality. When it comes to volume, you can often choose between a few sizes, depending on how much waste is generated. If the waste container is not sufficient, there is the possibility to take your waste to a recycling center. Do not put your extra boxes or papers next to the bin as this may result in a fine.

Pizza Margherita, salami or Hawaii? This decision is often not easy. But how about a sweet version for a change: Thanks to Dr. Oetker will soon be able to do this because from April the “Dolce al Cioccolato” – a chocolate pizza – will be in the freezers of the supermarkets!

On the thin “pizza crust” of the Dolce al Cioccolato, chocolate sauce, delicate shavings of milk chocolate, chocolate droplets and pieces of white chocolate combine to create a heavenly dessert for those with a sweet tooth.

The sweet sin can be divided into several pieces, served either pure or with ice cream and fruit and is an unusual change on the dessert or cake plate, as the company Dr. Oetker explained in his press release.

The chocolate side of pizza

  7. To make the snails a real feast for the eyes, we recommend a garnish with fresh basil. They are also real treat for colds.

In most households, oregano is probably better known as a spice than as a medicinal plant. However, the healing effect should not be underestimated. The ancient Greeks already knew how to use oregano for healing.

Particularly important: the essential oils of oregano

While only the leaves of the plant can be used for the spice, regardless of the growing season, the whole plant is used for medicinal purposes and reaches its best harvest time at flowering time. The tannins and bitter substances of the plant, as well as their essential oils, are particularly relevant for the healing effect. The latter include thymol, carvacrol, cymene and borneol.

Oregano mainly helps against digestive problems (in the stomach, intestines, liver or bile) and respiratory diseases and has a general anti-inflammatory effect in the throat and mouth. In addition, oregano oil is considered to be the most powerful natural antibiotic. The gesundheit.de platform recommends oregano tea (a teaspoon of oregano in a quarter liter of water) for various purposes:
Sweetened several times a day against coughs
Against indigestion, unsweetened after steeping for ten minutes
Against inflammation in the mouth and throat: gargle with tea

Oregano: Let it cook for a long time

Oregano is still very popular for cooking and is used as a spice in Mediterranean cuisine. It is important to note that the spice develops its flavor best after long cooking.
