Spread across the 6,823 pizza places on map listings, it comes to $4.8M per pizza place. The spending figure covers all food away from home, not only pizza places. It is estimated from the incomes of the 7,704,486 households in New York and national spending patterns by income.
How does New York compare with the U.S. for pizza places?

At the national ratio of pizza places to household spending, New York would have about 6,474, against 6,823 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 433 households, against one for every 478 across the U.S. The official count fell 0.8% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.1% for the U.S.
Which market in New York has the highest market score for pizza places?
Among 13 scored metro areas in or partly in New York, the Ithaca metro area scores highest, at 52 (upper middle). Among 14 scored small-town markets in or partly in New York, the Seneca Falls area scores highest, at 66 (upper middle). Among 58 scored counties in New York, Saratoga County scores highest, at 71 (upper middle). 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. New York scores 35 for pizza places (lower middle), #44 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 New York. 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.
