Family practice

Sunday evening as Brazil's fixed pizza occasion

In São Paulo and much of Brazil, Sunday evening is the conventional slot for a family pizza meal out — institutionalised to the point that 10 July is marked as Dia da Pizza. It functions closer to a Sunday roast than to a casual takeaway.
