What this means

Texas has 7,141 pizza places on map listings as of September 2026. 5,152 of them (72%) are chain locations, against 58% across the U.S. Per 10,000 households, that is 6.5, 19% below the U.S. rate of 8.0.

At $3,970 per household (2% below the U.S. average), households in Texas spend about $43.6B a year on food away from home. Spread across 7,141 pizza places, that is $6.1M per pizza place, 20% above the U.S. figure of $5.1M. The spending figure covers all food away from home, not only pizza places.

In 2023, official counts showed 24,360 businesses with payroll in Texas classed as limited-service restaurants, up 9.0% from 2019. That is one for every 451 households, against one for every 478 across the U.S. Across the U.S., the count rose 6.1% over the same years. That count covers all limited-service restaurants (fast food and sandwich shops included), not only pizza places. Since fiscal 2022, 746 SBA-backed loans worth $466.2M have gone to businesses classed as limited-service restaurants in Texas.

Questions

How many pizza places are in Texas?

Map listings as of September 2026 show 7,141 pizza places in Texas. 5,152 of them (72%) are chain locations. The listings count pizza restaurants. Official counts show 24,360 businesses with payroll classed as limited-service restaurants in 2023, up 9.0% from 2019. The official count takes in all limited-service restaurants, not only pizza places: fast food and sandwich shops are counted too. Official counts also show 5,635 one-person businesses without payroll.

How much do households in Texas spend on food away from home?

About $43.6B a year, or $3,970 per household. That is 2% below the U.S. average (an index of 98, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 7,141 pizza places on map listings, it comes to $6.1M 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 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.

How does Texas compare with the U.S. for pizza places?

Texas has 6.5 pizza places per 10,000 households, 19% below the U.S. rate of 8.0. Spending per pizza place is $6.1M, 20% above the U.S. figure of $5.1M. At the U.S. ratio of pizza places to household spending, Texas would have about 8,588, against 7,141 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 451 households, against one for every 478 across the U.S. The official count rose 9.0% from 2019 to 2023, against +6.1% for the U.S.

Which market in Texas has the highest market score for pizza places?

Among 26 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area scores highest, at 85 (high). Among 33 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Bonham area scores highest, at 86 (high). Among 122 scored counties in Texas, Bastrop County scores highest, at 90 (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. Texas scores 64 for pizza places (upper middle), #7 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 Texas. 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.
