The Opportunity
Pizza Industry Growth
In a report released by PMQ Magazine entitled Pizza Power Report 2007, staff writer Tom Boyles says, “Based on statistics provided by InfoUSA, the unit growth for the pizza segment between July 2006 and July 2007 was very active. Not only did the pizza industry increase its volume of units between July of 2006 and July of 2007, sales saw one of the most significant rises in a few years. During this period the pizza segment saw a 3% increase in sales in both the QSR** and the CD** segments, which equates to an overall increase of $936,433,802 and brings the total U.S. pizza sales for these segments to $32,150,893,862.”
Additionally, the National Restaurant Association (NRA) stated that pizza sales, from period July 2006 to July 2007, of nearly $32.2 billion represented 6.29% of total ‘eating place’ U. S. restaurant sales of $511 billion in 2006. The NRA reported, at year end 2006, there were approximately 925,000 restaurants in America, of which 8.03% were in the pizza segment, as compared to 7.7% in 2005.
Independent Pizza Market
Analysts agree that the U. S. pizzeria industry is healthy and growing. Between July 2006 and July 2007 average sales were $432,723. The Independent market, classified as pizzerias not in the top 25 chains, are currently gaining ground on bigger chains gaining market share in the industry’s total sales for the second consecutive year.
According to Pizza Power 2007, independents comprised 66.51% of all U.S. pizzerias; up from 64.81% in the 2006 Pizza Power report. The report showed that as far as overall industry growth, “Independents also marched forward in this area and now earn 50.21% of the U.S. pizza industry’s sales, up from 49.47% of total U.S. industry sales reported in last year’s Pizza Power Report. Average store sales for independents also rose to $326,478, which is up from the $323,411 that was reported in last year’s Pizza Power Report.”
On average ‘mom and pop’ sales are less than average sales at a Top 25 chain, but independents continue to claim market share. In 2000, when the first PMQ Pizza Power Report was released, store sales for independents reflected 59.7% of total U. S. stores; in 2006 independents had increased their percentage to 66.51%. At year end 2000, independents owned 48.5% of all U.S. pizza sales; currently these independent stores own 50.21%. 1

A recent Gallup Poll reported that 82% of children ages 3-to-11 would rather have pizza than other food for lunch and dinner, such as hot dogs, macaroni & cheese, chicken nuggets, and hamburgers. We love pizza so much in the U. S. we have honored it with its own month - October! Crust and style choices of pizzas may include:

Every day Americans consume about 100 acres of pizza (the equivalent of 350 slices per second). The U.S. has over 69,000 pizzerias that sell more than 3 billion pizzas each year. Americans love pizza but they did not invent it, but neither did the Italians as most people believe; however, they did improve it bringing it to the world market.
Research shows that, “From about 730 B.C. until about 130 B.C., Greeks, who were considered to be some of the greatest bakers in ancient times, occupied the southernmost regions of Italy. The Greeks baked round, flat breads and garnished them with oils, garlic, vegetables and other foods, leaving a rim of crust to serve as a handle." 3
