Pizza consumption in Canada

Pizza has been around since before the year 1000, but it wasn’t until 1780 that pizza as we know it today made its appearance, in the form of the Margherita.

In Canada, restaurant food has been quite profitable for several years, with a growing demand for pizza in Quebec:

  • Over 5 companies specialize in pizza, among the 30 most important restaurants in Canada*
  • Pizza orders at major food retailers increased by 115%*

One region, one recipe

In Quebec, large American chains specializing in pizza are trying to enter/break Montreal’s food market.

However, adapting to local taste is still the key to success: Quebecers prefer pizzas with less minced meat, thinner crusts, etc.

Pizza is popular for entertainment occasions and well in day to day working lifestyle, due to its convenience, availability and affordability
