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?
