A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that almost five million Australians aged 14+ visited/ordered from a pizza shop at least once in an average four weeks during the year to March 2016, compared with 4.8 million in the year to March 2012. The survey also shows that the number of people who dined at Domino’s Pizza has risen from 1.8 million in an average four weeks to 2.3 million over this period. However, the number of Pizza Hut customers has fallen from one million to 745,000 and patronage of Eagle Boys has fallen from 852,000 to 336,000.

Shares in Domino’s Pizza Enterprises closed 2.2 per cent higher at a new high of $A73.35 on 20 July 2016, in the wake of a rival’s collapse. Thomas Kierath of Morgan Stanley says the group could increase its market share following the demise of Eagle Boys Pizza, while Michael Simotas of Deutsche Bank notes that Domino’s could be blocked from acquiring Pizza Boys franchises on competition grounds. Morgan Stanley has an "overweight" recommendation on Domino’s shares, while Deutsche has a "hold" rating.

The employment contracts of Pizza Hut Australia are under scrutiny amid allegations of wage exploitation. It has been claimed that some home delivery drivers are paid just $A6 per delivery, and are restricted to making only two deliveries on each round trip. A number of Pizza Hut franchisees have launched a class action for alleged breaches of the franchise code. Other franchise-based businesses have also accused of wage exploitation, including 7-Eleven.
