What is wrong with the pizza market?
About this episode
This episode discusses the struggles of fast-food pizza chains and the factors contributing to their sales decline.
Why are fast-food pizza chains struggling? This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Robert Byrne, senior director of consumer research with Technomic. Byrne and I spend the entire time discussing the state of the pizza market. Fast-food pizza chain sales declined last year, and fast-casual pizza chain sales declined even further. We look at the factors behind that decline, including the growing competition from third-party delivery, pressure on lower-income consumers and other factors. We also discuss where pizza customers are visiting instead. We’re talking pizza on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
