GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Super Bowl is right around the corner and it happens to be one of the biggest pizza selling nights of the year. Nationally, 12 million pizzas are sold for the big game each year.

Wednesday also happens to be National Pizza Day! Ruta Ulcinaite and Elliot Grandia chat with owner of Licari's Sicilian Pizza Kitchen Gianni Licari about their popularity and how they're preparing for the big game.

"Super Bowl is a huge hit for us," Licari said. "But the fun thing is it's pizza, everybody's eating pizza on the Super Bowl. We're a very popular destination for that."

They have supplies ready, but supplies are becoming more hard to come by for the pizza chain with two locations in West Michigan.

"It's like a challenge every week. It's something different...from cups, plastic cups to glass to product that we can't get in," Licari said.

Nonetheless they're ready to bring in customers who can try their award winning pizza for National Pizza Day, the Super Bowl and beyond.
