Domino's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars?
- pfarrell 5y agoPapa Johns probably replaces one of those. Just not sure whether it’s LC or PH. Edit: tried to look it up, I think your original list is accurate

- AdamH12113 5y agoToday I learned that Little Caesar's is a bigger pizza chain than Papa John's[1]. As of 2018, the top five are: 1. Domino's, with 14,856 "units" and $12.2 billion in gross sales. 2. Pizza Hut, with 16,784 units and $12.0 billion in gross sales. 3. Little Caesar's, with 5,500 units and $4.0 billion. 4. Papa John's, with 5,199 units and $3.7 billion. 5. California Pizza Kitchen, with 267 units and $840 million. Everything after Papa John's is a long tail. Strangely, revenue in the long tail is not obviously proportional to the number of units. So instead of a top three, there's really a top two, a next two, and everyone else.

- vidanay 5y agoAnd the best pizza comes from "units" of 1 with only six figure sales.
- seanmcdirmid 5y agoHasn’t MOD Pizza effectively replaced California pizza kitchen (which closed all their locations in my metro after their 2020 bankruptcy) as the west coast choice (500 units, $390 million)? It helps that they don’t try to be a full service like California pizza kitchen and focus on just really custom pizza.
- whichdan 5y agoHuh, I wouldn't have expected any of these numbers, given that Boston has a zillion Domino's and, at best, one each of the others.
