Pizzerias are facing significant challenges due to rising inflation, affecting everything from ingredient costs to labor and rent. After a period of relative stability during the pandemic, owners like Daniel Roughan and Adam DiCenso now grapple with skyrocketing prices for essential ingredients such as flour and cheese, along with fluctuating costs affecting all aspects of the business. Factors like tariffs, bird flu, and staffing shortages exacerbate the situation. This culminates in increasing prices for consumers, putting pressure on the entire restaurant industry.
"The costs are just getting out of hand," DiCenso said.
"The following years were good until 2024," Daniel Roughan said.
Pizzerias had to restrict inside business, take precautions, change hours, and deal with staffing shortages just like everyone else in the industry.
The price of goods also fluctuates week to week.
