The Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retail

The Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retail

The pizza market is a beloved one in the U.S. Data from Packaged Facts' report, The Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retailshow that 97% of U.S. adults eat pizza, and about 93% have bought pizza at a restaurant in the past 12 months. These numbers underscore the U.S. pizza market's strength but also show how difficult it is to expand the already saturated industry. On the restaurant side, pizza restaurants are losing share to other restaurant cuisine formats, while major pizza chains continue to grow their sales. On the retail side, private label pizzas sales are also growing—and stealing shares—in each of the three mass-market pizza segments (frozen pizza, pizza products, and refrigerated pizza). On store shelves, category growth is bubbling up from the bottom: Among the top 12 frozen pizza manufacturers, the most growth has come only from boutique companies Newman’s Own and Amy’s Kitchen. However, a handful of recent private label pizza manufacturers are bucking the trend. Packaged Facts' analysis suggests that consumers will support the growth of value and premium offerings in the pizza market.

The Pizza Market in the U.S.: Foodservice and Retail shows a clear food consumption trend toward healthier options and home-based cost savings, at the expense of pizza. The main message to pizza purveyors is evident: enhance the overall healthfulness of your pizza, and experiment with options providing more clear-cut healthfulness without sacrificing taste. Menu trends reveal a wealth of cuisine-driven growth opportunities:
  • Push more mileage out of fusion cuisine.
  • Use pizza to mainstream a wider variety of leaner proteins.
  • Leverage vegetable variety.
  • Up the sophistication ante through premium and more exotic natural cheeses and sauce experimentation.
  • Exploit the on-the-go innovation potential of the breakfast daypart.
