Pizza Restaurant Resources
Successful pizza service begins here.
Pizzerias and pizza restaurants account for nearly 20 percent of all restaurants in the United States. One reason is that successful pizza shops can deliver both quantity and quality with the right ingredients, the right processes, and the right ovens and equipment. In fact, it’s never been easier.
While it might sound simple to start spinning pies into profits, it’s actually a little more complicated. There are many considerations, from pizza style to service style. Some of these choices are dictated by pizzeria owners and operators, while others are more situational, such as kitchen size, the accessibility of HVAC, and even location.
To say pizza is popular is an understatement. Every second, an average of 350 slices of pizza are sold in the United States, accounting for more than $40 billion in sales every year. These profits are driven by trends, from pizza styles to how and where pizzas are consumed.
Even before the onset of COVID, pizza was one of the most-ordered foods when it comes to delivery and takeout. After COVID, it became even more popular. Pizza delivery and takeout can be challenging, and customer demands are high. Unfortunately, it only takes a handful of bad reviews to steer new customers astray.
Finding the right pizza oven depends on a wide variety of factors — style of pizza, volume, kitchen space, and more. It’s important to learn the differences between pizza ovens to make your pizza restaurant as profitable as possible.
