How we rate pizza stores

Our review compares pizza stores on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which pizza store they think is best!



Canstar Blue surveyed 1,543 Australians for their feedback on pizza stores/restaurants they’ve purchased and eaten pizza from in the last three months (Note: this includes by buying online via a website/app or in person).
  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics.


Respondents rate their satisfaction with their pizza store(s) from zero to 10, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and 10 is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Overall satisfaction: measures consumer satisfaction with pizza stores as an individual score, NOT a combined total of all criteria.
  • Value for money: quality of products for price paid.
  • Taste and freshness of ingredients: food tasted as expected, ingredients were fresh.
  • Presentation of food: food arrived intact, looked as expected.
  • Variety of food options: variety of flavour types offered, different size options, dietary requirements met.
  • Speed of service: food arrived within the indicated timeframe.
  • Customer service: staff are available, helpful, resolve problems effectively.
  • Store layout and presentation: products are well-presented, easy to find.
  • Website and app experience: process for ordering, transaction or use is simple and efficient.


The winning brand is the one that receives the highest overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
  • Overall satisfaction is asked as a specific question and represents an individual measure, not a combined total of all criteria.
  • When we cannot determine a clear winner from the criteria for the overall satisfaction rating, we will then look at the other criteria measured in the rating.
    • The brand with the highest number of five-star ratings within the supporting criteria will become the five-star recipient in overall satisfaction, and thus win the award. If a clear leader still cannot be determined from the supporting criteria, joint winners will be declared.


Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

• La Porchetta
• Pizza Hut
• Dominos
• Crust
