The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Growing innovation and customization in pizza

Customers in the global market are constantly on the lookout for pizza infused with new and bold flavors. The demand for such innovative and exotic flavored pizzas are more common among millennials. Pizza that is customized based on the calorie intake is also becoming increasingly popular in the market. Pizza manufacturers like Pizza Hut offer nutrition calculator that gives customers the option to create their own pizza by selecting the crust type, toppings, sauce, and size of the crust based on their requirements and then the nutrition calculator will display the total calorie intake for the customers. The nutritional calculator will also display total sodium intake, the amount of total fat, carbohydrates, and protein.

Increasing demand for gluten-free pizza

The rising popularity of veganism and gluten-free diets have spurred the demand for gluten-free pizza among consumers. Establishments offering gluten-free pizza on their menus are more common in countries such as the UK, France, Canada, and the US. Gluten-free food products are generally consumed by people who suffer from gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Furthermore, consumers of gluten-free pizza tend to visit the same eateries after a positive eating experience and have the potential of becoming loyal and profitable customers.

Rising popularity of fast-casual pizza

A fast-casual pizza restaurant is a combination of quick-service restaurants and casual dining restaurants. It serves healthier pizza that is fresh but costs more than that served in quick-service restaurants. A rise in the number of health conscious individuals in the global market is the major driving force behind the growth of the fast-casual pizza restaurant segment. In 2013, Chipotle Mexican Grill partnered with restaurateurs Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson to launch a fast-casual pizza concept called Pizzeria Locale, which cooks pizzas to perfection in around 2 minutes in customized 900° Fahrenheit ovens. MOD Pizza, Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza, Pie Five Pizza, PizzaRev, Uncle Maddio’s Pizza, and Live Basil Pizza are the top pizza restaurants in this category in the US.

Cheese’s, CiCi’s Pizza, Godfather’s Pizza, Hungry Howie, Marco’s Pizza, Mellow Mushroom, Pizza Capers, Pizza Delight, PizzaExpress, Pizza Nova, Pizza Pizza, Pizza Ranch, PizzaRev, Round Table Pizza, and Spizzico Italian Kitchen.
