Answer by Noah
Eating pizza (or any other food) can become a habit of yours, you can absolutely love it, you can be come accustomed to eating the same thing often or every day – but not actually addicted to it.

Addiction is a medical term and it involves specific changes in the brain. Usually the things that cause addiction alter the body in some way so that it has to change in order to keep functioning. So like for cocaine, which slows the senses down, your brain compensates by increasing the sensitivity to stimuli. So when a person is going through cocaine detox, they often feel that every thing is “tuned up” because their brain has been compensating for low stimuli.

Now you will here people say silly things like “I am absolutely addicted to eyeliner” or “I am addicted to pepsi” by saying that they are just saying they have a strong fondness (a strong like) for those things, there is no actual medical addiction going on with those things.

So yes – you can say “I am addicted to pizza” to mean that you really love it and that is all you want to eat – but you will never have to go through detox or rehab for pizza, nor will you experience real physical withdrawal symptoms from not eating it anymore.
