Expanding Your Pizza Shop Menu: The Power of Adding Fried Foods

Expanding Your Pizza Shop Menu Blog Header

Pizza is a universal favorite, but expanding your menu with fried foods can take your business to the next level. Adding crispy, crave-worthy sides and appetizers increases ticket averages, attracts new customers, and boosts profits—all while keeping operations smooth.

The Benefits of Adding Fried Foods to Your Pizza Shop

Increased Revenue – Side items and appetizers add profitable upsell opportunities. A customer who orders fries, mozzarella sticks, or wings alongside their pizza spends more per visit.

Enhanced Customer Experience – Diners love variety, and offering fried options keeps your menu fresh and exciting.

Quick & Easy Prep – With ventless frying solutions like AutoFry®, adding fried foods doesn’t require costly hood installations or extra labor.

Attract Late-Night & Takeout Crowds – Fried foods hold up well for delivery and late-night snacking, perfect for boosting sales during peak hours.
