Top 100 Pizza Companies by Sales

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

We had Marco's Pizza delivered to the office today - they opened a new store nearby and some of the folks here at work decided the wanted to give it a try. Pretty darn solid for a chain.

 

Anyway, I'd never heard of it before, and in looking it up online I learned that it was ranked as the 28th largest pizza chain by national sales in 2011. Made me start checking into some others.

 

Top 5:

1) Pizza Hut - 13,432 stores doing $11,000,000,000 in gross sales.

2) Domino's - 9,400 stores doing $6,700,000,000 in gross sales.

3) Papa John's - 3,646 stores doing $2,390,172,000 in gross sales.

4) Little Ceasars - 2,960 stores doing $1,345,000,000 in gross sales.

5) California Pizza Kitchen - 252 stores doing $710,000,000 in gross sales.

 

Others:

19) Donato's - 173 stores doing $168,000,000 in gross sales.

24) Gatti's - 126 stores doing $133,800,000 in gross sales.

25) LaRosa's - 62 stores doing $130,000,000 in gross sales.

26) Mellow Mushroom - 122 stores doing $128,600,000 in gross sales.

79) Snappy Tomato Pizza - 71 stores doing $26,000,000 in gross sales.

Marco's is delicious! Only one location in Kentucky however, as the rest are in Ohio. Lucky for me, the one KY store is located 5 minutes from my house.

I like almost all pizza companies....except Papa John's . Something about their crust just ruins it for me.

I'd say it's somewhat similar to Jet's pizza - although the Jet's pizza I've had has had a little more sauce on it than the Marco's I had today. I like more sauce, personally. Ever tried Jet's?

Papa John's crust is polarizing to people somehow. I like it a LOT, but I know people who would go hungry before they ate it.

If Donatos would lower their freakin' prices I'd order that stuff weekly. Instead, it's a once or twice a year occasion. Love Pizza Hut $10 box.

I haven't yet. I've been getting bombarded recently with coupons though so I'm planning on trying it here soon.

 

I'm the opposite, I'm more a fan of less sauce and more topping. Crust is crucial for me as well. With Marco's did you try the crust seasonings? The garlic ranch is a must try.

I'm not sure...I had whatever it was that the lovely ladies here at the office ordered. I did notice that the crust had parmesan baked onto it, though. Nice.

Liked Jet's a lot the one time I tried it.

Yeah it's the strangest thing. I like their crust a lot too, but I know tons of people who are absolutely disgusted by it.

Love me some Jet's pizza!

[Omega Man]

Pizza huts are dirty!

Love the food, but almost can't eat in since they are typically so gross.

[halfback20]

Pizza hut sucks.

 

I'd rather have little caesars for the money.

 

Papa John's is pretty good too.
