Upgrade Your Pizza Game with These Equipment Considerations

Pizza is an important staple in the diets of Canadian consumers. In fact, according to the 2018 Canadian Pizza Consumer Trend Report, 75 percent of all Canadians report eating pizza at least once a month.

Considering the dollar value represented by this single statistic, it seems obvious that a deeper dive into the data is warranted. Some of those statistics are even more telling:

• 22 per cent of consumers overall and 27 per cent of consumers ages 18-34 would eat pizza more often if there were healthier options available

• 31 per cent of consumers would like more restaurants to offer seasonal toppings

• 44 per cent of consumers order pizza to satisfy a craving

It’s clear the Canadian palate for pizza is a complex one, which means operators need to focus on quality. From both an ingredient and cooking process perspective, consumers are demanding it. While we can’t help you with the ingredient side of the pizza business, we can offer up some suggestions to help with the cooking process.
