Americans can't stop shoving pizza into their faces

A large Philly cheesesteak pizza from a Papa John's International Inc. restaurant is arranged for a photograph in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday, May 1, 2015.

America's pandemic-induced love affair with pizza shows no signs of slowing down.

That's a huge relief for Papa John's, helping to speed up its turnaround plans. The pizza chain said Tuesday that its North American sales rose 24% over the past four weeks. Internationally, sales were also strong, jumping 23% for the period.
