Market Opportunity

Each day in America consumers eat about 100 acres of pizza. That's about 350 slices per second! It's no wonder the $30 billion a year pizza industry is thriving. But tastes are changing, and consumers are demanding "better" quality products from all segments of the restaurant industry. Speaking recently at the 2010 Technomic Trends and Directions conference, renowned foodservice analyst Nancy Kruse remarked that premium crusts offer the glimmer of a pizza renaissance, citing Mazzio's artisan pizza offerings!

Industry Recognition

Mazzio's Italian Eatery was recognized in Technomic's 2008 annual list of the "Top 45 Pizza Chains by Average Store Sales" and was also ranked 23rd on Pizza Marketing Quarterly Magazine's "Top 200 Pizza Chains in the United States". Additionally, Mazzio's was recently ranked in Chain Leader Magazine's annual "Best Places to Work" report due to its concepts' low general manager turnover rate (16 percent) and its depth of employee benefits. Mazzio's Italian Eatery has consistently won "Best Pizza" awards in its primary markets for many years and retains an industry-leading Customer Loyalty Index for Overall Satisfaction from SMG.
