According to a recent article on Eater, pizza now reigns supreme as the leading fast casual restaurant model, representing 37% of all fast casual restaurants. This number is ahead of seafood fast casual at 25% and “healthy” at 21%. Here are a few takeaways we picked up about fast casual pizzerias from the Eater article:
1. Fast casuals offer quick, affordable, personal-size in-store pizzas.
2. They offer “wild, organic, creative, natural, high-quality” ingredients.
3. They get guests in and out quickly during a lunch rush.
4. Guests have a variety of options when it comes to crusts, sauces, and cheeses (including vegan).
5. They cater to regional preferences.
6. Through careful pre-measurement of ingredients, operators know approximately how much each pizza will cost them.
