Generally speaking, business listings per capita of a specific industry is dictated by zipcodes. One city can have multiple zipcodes though. I made a few searches online and was surprised that new york / new jersey was not among top 10 zipcodes. https://welcomematservices.com/top-10-zip-codes-for-pizza-restaurants/ https://welcomematservices.com/top-10-zip-codes-for-pizza-re... If you really wanted all the listings I know the national-restaurant-association (NRA) has all of this data. You can also find the full data set on yelp as well. https://www.yelp.com/dataset/documentation/main https://www.yelp.com/dataset/documentation/main. the json data set indicates a category value you can use too. Zomato didn't have the data source, kaggle's datasets were limited, didn't find anything on data.gov worthwhile. You can also find number of people living per zipcode from public datasets on data.gov Also, Hoboken, NJ is technically two zipcodes.

> Also, Hoboken, NJ is technically two zipcodes. Source? I've lived here for years and only know one. USPS.gov seems to agree :) Anyway, re: your first link, the data source sounds very questionable: > Scoring of the Top Ten U.S. ‘Pizza Hoods’ in 2016 was determined by internal data on number > of pizza restaurant redemptions through Welcomemat Services as well as the number and > strength of pizza restaurants and businesses in each zip code covered by the brand Welcomemat seems to be a company that sends mailers to people upon moving to a new address. In the NYC metro area, those new-address mailers rarely include restaurants. Margins are already tight for restaurants here, and many restaurants can rely on foot traffic without any need for this type of advertising.

  I too question the source of "pizza hoods". I found no other better sources online though compiling the information though. Going through yelp's dataset would probably yield the best results, since its not as biased. The two zipcodes, google (itself) stated there were 2 zipcodes, 07030 and 07086 . That has a lot of merit to it to me at least

    Ah, afraid Google is wrong. 07086 is strictly Weehawken NJ... check https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?citybyzipcode https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?citybyzipcode
