Pizza Industry is pressed by food costs

March 6, 2008

Pizzeria operators are feeling the pain as the cost of cheese, flour and other commodities go through the roof.  Pizza Marketplace editor Richard Slawsky recently spoke with Peter Barnes, host of “Money for Breakfast” on the Fox Business Network, on the state of the pizza industry and how rising commodities prices are affecting operators.

 

Cheese prices are up 50 percent and flour prices are up 300 percent compared with last year. Every Monday, Pizza Marketplace looks at where prices are headed in the commodities markets and recaps the cost of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas for the past week.
