Do You Like Pizza?

The economic downturn has hit many businesses hard. Both in Brisbane and across Australia pizza is becoming a growing comfort to us all, especially in our times of need.

When the economy starts to turn, there are always those industries that keep looking up. Across Australia, the industry is strengthening, however in the south the market is moving in the favour of Melbourne Pizza Delivery. The pizza marketplace is definitely one of the booming industries as we speak.

While expensive luxuries have started to flounder and Australians tighten their belts, the pizza industry has fared quite well according to an article published in March in an Aussie newspaper. Oftentimes seen as a lesser luxury, Aussies turn to their favorite comfort food in these tough economic times more and more – and pizza is one of our last affordable small pleasures. By the beginning of last year, takeaway foods were up in sales by more than 11% over the previous year, and by the halfway mark a big pizza chain reported an actual increase in pizza sales of almost 3%. In fact, Domino’s was hiring while others were sacking, just to fill the need for pizza parlours.

Do take away customers prefer to order pizza from home or make it themselves? Most people prefer not to learn how to make pizza dough. Ordering over the phone is the preference. So what do you like with your pizza? And what do we like with our pizza? But of course, a good, cold beverage. The brewing industry has grown right alongside the pizza delivery scene, claiming soaring profits of over 2% per quarter, and over a $411 million half-year profit for The Foster’s Group, which holds an estimated 52% of the market share for beer in Australia.

The economic situation has without a doubt tightened things up for people. So, so what if you’ve cut out your nights out on the town? You still have the comfort of good food, decent friends, and a relaxing beer at home!
