Garfield-pizza gif

Pizza is flatbread topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and often other ingredients; also one of the Italian cuisine meals that Garfield likes - it makes various appearances in the Garfield franchise, such as in "Perfect Pizza".

Garfield is seen liking pizza along with spaghetti, chicken, pies, hot dogs, donuts, and lasagna. Unlike the latter, other characters in Garfield and Friends are also shown enjoying pizza with Garfield.

Nowadays, Garfield is shown eating pizza more frequently than lasagna, his favorite food. Pizza (without any anchovies, tofu or kale) is apparently Garfield's second favorite food.
