The broad appeal of 24 microbrews on tap and more wines by the glass makes Brixx an easy choice when it comes to pizza restaurants. Food trends come and go, but pizza, especially hand-crafted pizza, perseveres. Today, pizza is one of the largest slices of the restaurant industry, valued at about $40 billion a year, as the average American consumes 46 slices of pizza each year.
