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

      NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

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

      http://www.reportlinker.com/p01008889/The-Pizza-Market-in-the-US-Foodservice-and-Retail.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Restaurant_and_Food_Services

      Data from a Packaged Facts August 2012 survey show that 97% of U.S. adults eat pizza, and about 93% have gotten food from a pizza restaurant in the past 12 months. These levels of penetration both underscore how many people enjoy pizza and suggest the difficulty in growing this commoditized market. On the restaurant side, pizza restaurants are losing share to other restaurant cuisine formats, major pizza chains have continued to grow sales. On the retail side, private label continues to grow sales—and steal share—in each of 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, significant growth has come only from boutique companies Newman's Own and Amy's Kitchen. However, a handful of recent brand lines from the frozen pizza giants are bucking the trend. And Packaged Facts analysis suggests that consumers will support the growth of value and premium offerings.

      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. But 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.
