Best Pizza Franchises To Buy in 2021

The market size of the pizza restaurant industry is expected to increase 2.8% in 2021. Why? Because people love pizza and the industry has been ahead of the game in delivery for quite some time, which has proved to be an important factor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Technomic reports that 43% of Americans eat pizza at least once a week, and the industry has experienced a serious sales boom during the pandemic.
