My kids always get excited about the thought of pizza but when it is there they don't eat much of it. 2-3 bites max. They chow down on sushi though. Ages 4 and 5

Same with my 40 year old husband. He could eat pizza every night (in fact, he is eating it right now instead of the stir fry I made for dinner). Plus, he loves tater tots, hot dogs (the bad kind), kraft mac and cheese, the smuckers PB&J sandwich pockets, fruity pebbles and pop tarts. Horrible, horrible diet- we joke that he never moved out of the 5 year palate phase. I would be more upset if he wasn't a thin guy who is a distance runner. I just worry about him influencing our son who for now eats mommy food

My 3 year old son hates pizza. It is nearly the only food that he doesn't like. He says the cheese tastes funny.

My 7 year old has suddenly decided she doesn't like pizza -- or birthday cake. Makes most birthday parties not a food event for her.

My 5 year old hates pizza and it's a big pain since it's served at every kid's birthday party. I wish she liked it!!

Hell, I'm 32 and feel the same way about pizza

We have pizza night once a week, and I swear my 2-yr-old has figured it out and fasts for days beforehand to make enough room in her tiny stomach to consume several slices of pizza at a time. The whole time she's eating, she makes comments like, "This is DELICIOUS!" "I am SO happy!" "I LOVE pizza!" that make me feel like what I normally feed her is slop.

My kids are nuts for pizza.

We've tried making our own and having him help, delivery, in a restaurant, and frozen... all gets the same two bite reception. Now chicken nuggets on the other hand, he would eat every day if allowed.

My kid doesn't really like pizza. I am baffled. Pizza is one of my favorite foods...I end up serving her something else along with pizza whenever we pick one up just so she eats SOMETHING.

Yep. My 3 year old basically subsists on nothing but fruit and cheese. Almost anything else offered to her goes untouched... except pizza. She LOVES pizza.

Yes. My 4 year old ate HALF of a papa johns large pizza last week (along with a big bowl of cut up fruit and cucumbers). I kept waiting for his stomach to split. He even asked for more.

Yup, and Ledo's is the bomb to them. Probably the sugar in the sauce.

Yup, my 4 year old LOVES pizza! The odd thing is he hates cheese. When I try to give him another meal with cheese in it or on it he says, "Yuck I don't like cheese." When I ask him about the cheese on his pizza he says, "I like that cheese, because it's on a pizza." hmm.......

I work fairly hard to plan healthy, delicious, and unique meals. I enjoy cooking so its not something that stresses me out, but it is time consuming. However, I can't get over how much my kids love love love pizza. Take out pizza is the end all be all to them and no meal will ever top it. I remember liking pizza as a kid but it seems mine specifically die for it. We order it about 2x a month but add in playdates and birthday parties they have it at least one a week. I don't particularly mind I just find it ironic how a large cheese pizza is my kids currency. Anyone else?
