Pizza is one of the most popular food items for quick meals, parties, and gatherings with friends. Almost four in five (78%) in APAC like eating pizza. Throughout the years, we can see an increasing variety of toppings, crusts and even delivery channels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In view of this, YouGov, an online research firm, polled over 9,000 residents across APAC to explore how and where people prefer to eat their pizza.<\/p>\n

In terms of what people\u00a0like<\/em>\u00a0on a pizza, the research finds that the region\u2019s favourite topping is mushrooms, which are a favourite with nearly two thirds of APAC residents (65%). Mushrooms are particularly popular with older generations; 71% of over 55s consider mushrooms to be one of their favourite pizza toppings, compared with 56% of those aged 16-24.<\/p>\n

Joining mushrooms as APAC\u2019s most popular pizza toppings are chicken (53%), beef (52%), onions (47%) and pineapple (45%). Meanwhile sweetcorn, tuna, olives and chillies are the least popular of the options given, disliked by 25%, 24%, 22% and 21% of respondents, respectively.<\/p>\n

As with liked ingredients, there is a correlation between consumers\u2019 age and the toppings they dislike. For instance, onions are disliked as a pizza topping by more than a fifth of 16-24 year olds (22%) but disliked by just 13% of those over 55.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the crust, another generational divide emerges. Cheese-stuffed crusts are the most popular among young people but the least popular among older generations; 40% of 16-24 year olds say their favourite type of crust is cheese-stuffed, almost double the number of those aged 55+ who share the same view (22%). By contrast, the majority of over 55s (51%) prefer thin-crust pizza. Thick crust is the least popular type of crust, favoured by 21% of all respondents.<\/p>\n


\nPizza on the go is big business, with 55% of those polled preferring to order take away or delivery services over eating pizza in a restaurant. This rises to as much as 81% in Australia, where four-fifths of consumers say their favourite way to eat pizza is to use either takeaway or delivery services.<\/p>\n

But despite new technologies offering ever more convenient means of ordering fast food, just one in ten consumers (11%) prefer to use apps to order pizza. Chinese consumers are the most likely to use apps to order pizza delivery, with a quarter of consumers (26%) preferring to use apps to order their delivery. Consumers in Philippines and Thailand are the least likely to use an app as their normal way of ordering; just 4% of those polled do so to order pizza.<\/p>\n

Across the region, phoning up is the most widely used means to order pizza, favoured by 44% of those polled, followed by ordering online, used by 29% of respondents.<\/p>\n

When it comes to pizza delivery, it seems old habits die hard. App developers and deliveries services take note: it still seems like there\u2019s still a way to go before consumers are ready to switch to new technologies for their Pizza Margherita.
