California can’t get enough of this pizza chain during COVID-19 pandemic, report says

Do you like Little Caesars? A new report found Californians can’t get enough of it during the coronavirus pandemic.

The fast-food pizza chain has the most visited in the state — and in the country, according to results shared Thursday from Top Data.

“Since the spread of COVID on US shores began in mid-March, Little Caesars has been the preferred pizza provider for residents in 24 states,” Top Data reported. “No other pizza place comes close, with Papa John’s leading the way in just nine states and Domino’s in seven.”

In California, Domino’s was the runner-up. Pizza Hut, Papa John’s and Round Table Pizza were also popular, data show.

To come up with its findings, the insights company said it looked at public cellphone data and used it to determine where people have been getting pizza since mid-March.

“Pizza chains haven’t escaped the pandemic, with overall visits down by 20%,” Top Data said. “Little Caesars, despite being the most popular restaurant, has still seen a 6% reduction in visits.”
