Have you ever envisioned yourself as the proud owner of a thriving pizza operation? Or do you already own a catering operation but are considering boosting your profits with a pizza offering?

Allow these facts to get you off the fence and on the road to realising your pizza vision:

1. Pizza is cheap to produce.

The profit margins in pizza are massive, and I mean, MASSIVE. Our Development Chef, Fabio, has found from his personal experience travelling the world as a professional pizzaiolo that it costs just 90p to make a quality Margherita pizza- 20p for the base, 30p for the sauce and 40p for the mozzarella. With the average price of a medium pizza at around £15, that’s a huge 94% profit! Who could afford NOT to get a pizza that action?!

2.  Pizza is quick to make.

Some styles of pizza can be cooked in as little as 90 seconds. An American man named Brian Edler earned the title of the fastest pizzaiolo in the world when he made 206 pizzas in just one hour (Record found by Guiness World Records. Of course, quick production= high output= fantastic profits.

3. Pizza is the world’s favourite food.

An international YouGov study of more than 25,000 people in 24 countries finds that pizza and pasta are the most popular foods in the world. Italian cuisine received an average popularity score of 84% across the 24 nations studied. (statistics by YouGov) As staggering as this stat is, it makes sense- have you ever met someone that didn’t like pizza?!

4. Pizza is perfect for every market.

Whether your customers are vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, pescatarian or dairy free, the versatility of pizza means it can be crafted bespoke to the requirements and taste buds of just about anyone. Omit the mozzarella for vegan and dairy free customers, swap your pizza base for a gluten free version for gluten free clientele, hold the carne toppings and make the veggies rain for vegetarian pizza lovers etc. etc. Every customer who walks through the door can be accommodated at your operation when pizza is on the menu.
