Once the second-most common U.S. restaurant type, pizzerias are now outnumbered by coffee shops and Mexican food eateries, according to industry data. Sales growth at pizza restaurants has lagged behind the broader fast-food market for years, and the outlook ahead isn't much brighter.

"Pizza is disrupted right now," Ravi Thanawala, chief financial officer and North America president at Papa John's International, said in an interview. "That's what the consumer tells us."

The parent of the Pieology Pizzeria chain filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December. Others, including the parent of Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings and Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta, earlier filed for bankruptcy.

Interesting.  I feel there s more pizza places in towns around me than anything else.
never had/heard of Anthony s or Bertucci s

It's like having an Outback in the heart of Texas. You don't eat there.  I never heard of them either but then again I am always surprised we still have Dominos and Pizza Hut on Long Island.

Does Texas have a BETTER place to get a Bloomin' Onion?!

For a while there was a Dominos in my neighborhood when there are at least ten local pizza places around here I can walk to. I was actually surprised at how long the Dominos lasted. It had to have been several years. I never went, but others had to for it to last as long as it did.

price might factor into why anyone would go to domino’s in NYC. last I looked, they didn’t have any $30 pizzas on the menu.

Yeah domino's coupons are amazing.  My kids sometime crave it from time to time and we order from there; it's ok.   I've never had little ceasar's or papa john's before.

Pizza Pizza (two for one deal every Monday) was a go to during college for about a year.  Wanna say it was 7.99 for 2 medium pizzas.  (And they weren't tiny mediums like today)
Not great food but enough for us to race to eat as many pieces as we could before they were gone and still have enough money for a case of beer to drink before we went out.

My wife freaks out if the pizza is out for an hour.
Cheese is already spoiled milk.
Doesn't scare me.
