Summary

  • NetCredit’s U.S. Pizza Index found Indiana had the cheapest medium cheese pizza at $13.96 on average, while Hawaii was the most expensive at $19.70 after pricing orders across 180 U.S. cities.
  • Grubhub and DoorDash data from the 10 largest pizza chains showed a 41% gap between Hawaii and Indiana, with import costs cited as one reason Hawaii ranked highest.
  • Houston led large cities for affordability at $14.42, followed by Charlotte at $14.50 and Austin at $14.64, while San Diego topped the expensive list at $20.76 ahead of San Jose and Los Angeles.
  • The report lands as diners cut restaurant spending, with consumers reportedly choosing smaller pizzas and fewer toppings amid financial pressure.
  • NetCredit said bigger orders can sometimes lower the cost per slice, noting a 16-inch pizza has four times the area of an 8-inch pie.
