Questions
How many pizza places are in Kansas?
As of September 2026, map listings count 1,188 pizza places in Kansas. 1,007 of them (85%) are chain locations. The listings count pizza restaurants. Official counts show 2,231 businesses with payroll classed as limited-service restaurants in 2023, up 4.7% from 2019. The official count takes in all limited-service restaurants, not only pizza places: fast food and sandwich shops are counted too. Another 260 one-person businesses have no payroll, by official counts.
How much do households in Kansas spend on food away from home?
About $4.6B a year, or $3,910 per household. That is 4% below the U.S. average (an index of 96, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 1,188 pizza places on map listings, it comes to $3.9M per pizza place. That spending covers all food away from home, which pizza places share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 1,174,060 households in Kansas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Kansas compare with the U.S. for pizza places?
Kansas has 10.1 pizza places per 10,000 households, 26% above the U.S. rate of 8.0. Spending per pizza place is $3.9M, 24% below the U.S. figure of $5.1M. At the U.S. ratio of pizza places to household spending, Kansas would have about 903, against 1,188 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 526 households, against one for every 478 across the U.S. The official count rose 4.7% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.1% for the U.S.
Which market in Kansas has the highest market score for pizza places?
Among 7 scored metro areas in or partly in Kansas, the Kansas City metro area scores highest, at 68 (upper middle). Among 13 scored small-town markets in or partly in Kansas, the Hutchinson area scores highest, at 55 (upper middle). Among 38 scored counties in Kansas, Leavenworth County scores highest, at 78 (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. Kansas scores 38 for pizza places (lower middle), #40 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 Kansas. 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.
