Here’s How Much FL Residents Spend On Pizza Delivery And Other Takeout

FLORIDA — If you picked up a food delivery habit during the pandemic and never ditched it, you’re not alone. Florida residents spent nearly $4,000 a year on takeout and delivery, according to a recent study.

The study on takeout order habits is by Betway, an online gambling company, and its researcher used their sportsbook chops and math know-how in an analysis of what people order most for takeout — pizza won by a mile, with Chinese food a distant second — and how much they spend.

The data dive shows Florida consumers spend about $3,886 a year on takeout. Besides pizza and Chinese food, other go-to cuisines for takeout are, in order of preference, sushi, tacos, Mexican food, Indian food, ramen, salad, Italian food and burritos.

Atlanta is home to the most takeout lovers with 153 searches being made per 1,000 residents every month (80,010 in total). Miami comes in second place with 132 searches being made per 1,000 residents every month (60,160 in total).

The most popular takeout option in Miami is pizza, followed by Mexican, tacos, sushi and Chinese food.

The states with the most searches for takeout per 1,000 people were, respectively, New York, Maryland, Colorado, Oregon, California, Massachusetts, Virginia, Rhode Island, Illinois and Florida.

Conversely, the least number of searches were in Vermont, Wyoming, South Dakota, West Virginia, Mississippi, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire, Iowa and North Dakota, respectively.

The least number of searches were in El Paso, Texas, followed by Oklahoma City; Bakersfield, California; Fresno, California; Wichita, Kansas; Arlington, Texas; Mesa, Arizona; Fort Worth; Phoenix; and San Antonio.
