How do neighborhoods compare across the United States for Pizza Restaurants?

This 48.0% advantage illustrates how critical neighborhood selection is — choosing a top-tier neighborhood versus an average one can significantly increase your long-term survival chances.
For Pizza Restaurants specifically, survivability is driven primarily by competitive density within the immediate trade area and the alignment between local consumer spending patterns and the category's typical revenue profile. The 48.0% gap between top-ranked neighborhoods and the national average for Pizza Restaurants reflects meaningful variation in how competitive these markets are across different neighborhoods — a stronger signal than is typical for many business categories. StreetSpring generates these results using its proprietary prediction system, tailored to each business and location.
Importantly, top-performing neighborhoods aren't concentrated in just a few cities. The top 25 neighborhoods represent 6 different cities. This means entrepreneurs focused on Pizza Restaurants can find exceptional opportunities across the United States, not just in traditionally strong markets.

City Concentration
The top 25 neighborhoods span 6 different cities, with Chicago claiming 18 of the top spots (72%).
Breakdown of top 25 neighborhoods by city:
- Chicago: 18 neighborhoods (72% of top 25) — View city guide
- St. Louis: 3 neighborhoods (12% of top 25) — View city guide

This distribution has practical implications for Pizza Restaurants operators: cities with multiple neighborhoods in the top 25 offer more site options within a single market, reducing relocation or expansion cost. Cities with a single top-25 neighborhood require more precise site selection — the advantage is concentrated in one area rather than spread across the metro.
The concentration of 18 top-ranked neighborhoods in Chicago (72% of the top 25) is notably high for this business category, suggesting that Chicago's market conditions — competitive density, consumer spending patterns, and demographic alignment — are unusually favorable for Pizza Restaurants. Operators targeting this category should treat Chicago neighborhoods as a primary focus before expanding to secondary markets.

Where can I download the underlying data?
The full national survivability dataset is available as a free download: https://streetspring.com/resources/data/national-survivability-scores-2026.csv. The CSV includes all business subtypes and neighborhoods covered in this analysis, licensed under CC BY 4.0.
Can a Pizza Restaurant succeed in neighborhoods outside the top 25?
Yes — the top 25 neighborhoods represent standout conditions, but Pizza Restaurants can achieve strong survivability in many other neighborhoods as well. What matters is finding a location where competitive density is low enough and consumer spending is strong enough to support the business. StreetSpring's address-level tool identifies high-survivability addresses in any neighborhood, including those not represented in this top-25 list.
How often do neighborhood rankings change?
StreetSpring updates rankings quarterly as new data on business openings, closures, and market conditions becomes available. The current analysis reflects 2026 data. Because competitive conditions shift as new businesses enter or exit a neighborhood, the specific rankings for any given business type can shift between updates — which is why we recommend verifying specific addresses in StreetSpring's live tool before making a final site selection decision.
What is the difference between city-level and neighborhood-level survivability rankings for Pizza Restaurants?
City-level rankings reflect average survivability for Pizza Restaurants across all neighborhoods in a given city — useful for identifying which cities offer the best overall conditions. Neighborhood-level rankings go deeper, showing which specific neighborhoods within those cities rank highest. StreetSpring's address-level tool adds a third layer, scoring individual storefronts within any neighborhood.
Is the competitive environment for Pizza Restaurants stronger in some markets than others?
Yes — competition density for Pizza Restaurants varies significantly by market. In the top-ranked neighborhoods, StreetSpring's model identifies favorable competitive dynamics as a primary driver of high survivability scores. In more saturated markets, even strong consumer spending may not overcome competitive pressure. StreetSpring's address-level tool shows the exact competitive environment at any specific location.
How can I compare specific addresses within these top neighborhoods?
StreetSpring's address-level tool allows you to input any commercial address and see predicted survivability for Pizza Restaurants. Even within the top-ranked neighborhoods, survivability varies meaningfully by block — address-level scoring is the most precise way to evaluate a specific site.
Technical note: Aggregated national survivability rankings across all 24 metros are available in machine-readable format for research and integration purposes.
