Questions
How many pizza places are in Florida?
There are 6,246 pizza places on map listings in Florida as of September 2026. 3,220 of them (52%) are chain locations. The listings count pizza restaurants. Official counts show 15,969 businesses with payroll classed as limited-service restaurants in 2023, up 12.5% from 2019. That count covers all limited-service restaurants (fast food and sandwich shops included), not only pizza places. Official counts also show 4,341 one-person businesses without payroll.
How much do households in Florida spend on food away from home?
About $33.6B a year, or $3,841 per household. That is 6% below the U.S. average (an index of 94, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 6,246 pizza places on map listings, it comes to $5.4M per pizza place. The spending figure covers all food away from home, not only pizza places. It is estimated from the incomes of the 8,752,810 households in Florida and national spending patterns by income.
How does Florida compare with the U.S. for pizza places?
Florida has 7.1 pizza places per 10,000 households, 11% below the U.S. rate of 8.0. Spending per pizza place is $5.4M, 6% above the U.S. figure of $5.1M. At the national ratio of pizza places to household spending, Florida would have about 6,616, against 6,246 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 548 households, against one for every 478 across the U.S. The official count rose 12.5% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.1% for the U.S.
Which market in Florida has the highest market score for pizza places?
Among 22 scored metro areas in or partly in Florida, the Wildwood-The Villages metro area scores highest, at 89 (high). Among 6 scored small-town markets in or partly in Florida, the Arcadia area scores highest, at 79 (high). Among 56 scored counties in Florida, Sumter County scores highest, at 92 (very high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Florida scores 67 for pizza places (upper middle), #6 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Florida. It maps the pizza places on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
