It’s no secret that Americans love pizza. An average of 350 pizza slices are sold every second, which, over a year, amounts to more than three billion pizzas. The financial impact is even more impressive. Pizzerias make up roughly 17 percent of all U.S. restaurants—almost one in every five. This translates to over $40 billion in annual sales. Given pizza's popularity, it's no wonder Americans have high standards for their pies. We all have our favorite pizzerias and demand quality. But how can pizza makers meet these expectations?
There are two key ways.
First, it starts with the ingredients. The best pizzas use top-quality flour, tomato sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. Even national and global pizzeria chains emphasize better ingredients in their marketing.
Second, using the right equipment is crucial. This means using ovens that generate the right heat levels while also conserving energy, having a fast and efficient cooking process, and ultimately boosting the bottom line.
Let's look at some of the best pizza equipment in the business and how they can help your Florida pizza and foodservice business grow.
