PIZZA METRICS

Pizza fan? Data fan? With PIZZA METRICS, you’ll be able to quantify, track, and compare your experiences with 52 pizzas based on a weighted index scheme defined by your own criteria.
PIZZA METRICS is the first book in our series. Ordering pizza together has sparked intense debate (cheese more important than sauce? thin crust or thick?) and existential discussions (what is taste?). Maria and Tricia disagree wildly with each other (and probably you, too) on what makes a good pizza. And that's fine!
Our Pizza Reflection Guide helps you easily define and quantify your own metrics. Extra goodies in the book include pizza-related activities (for when you’re waiting for your pies) and chart and graph frameworks so you can plot and visualize your own data.
Ready to start rating pizzas? Pizza Metrics is available from our Etsy shop or direct from Lulu.com. You can also find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. If you are interested in purchasing Yum Index books wholesale to sell in your store, please email us at [email protected]. We also offer an educator discount for those that want to use Yum Index books as part of their curriculum!

FAQ
Why pizza?
We love pizza. Pizza is a crowd-pleasing meal that has been culturally reinterpreted across the globe. Pizza is also integrated into our pop culture (and true crime podcasts). While most people generally appreciate pizza, opinions on what makes a good pizza vary vastly.
What makes you qualified to write this?
We both eat pizza and have a lot to say about pizza. Maria is an actual writer by trade, motivated by reaching daily word counts. Tricia spends all day thinking about indicators and indices in the context of global health, which includes food-related metrics. Maria and Tricia have a knack for identifying new strange ways to leverage their skillsets.
I feel like I have seen a similar pizza journal before!
DOUBT IT. Most food and drink logs on the market track a lot of unquantifiable information, which makes it difficult to analyze results. Additionally, such logs often use imposed criteria. But you're a (vegan, white pizza-loving) snowflake! Stick it to the man and try out PIZZA METRICS, where you can make up your own rules!
OMG. Does this journal entail math?
If Maria can do it, you can do it.
What type of math is involved/will my child be able to use this book?
To rate pizzas using Pizza Metrics, an individual must be able to add, multiply, subtract, and divide. The current youngest documented Pizza Metrics user is 9 years old. Not that it's a competition or anything.
What's your favorite pizza?
Maria - New York-style cheese pizza
Tricia - Stuffed deep dish pizza from Art of Pizza (Chicago, IL)
