Did you order a pizza takeaway that was short of two pounds? Recently, the Shanghai Jinshan District Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Commission conducted an investigation into this. The results showed that Pizza Hut's pizza weight was missing 14.7%, and The size of The Zhigen Zhidi pizza was missing 2.48 cm. In addition, of the delivery pizzerias surveyed, only the Domino's chain labeled both the size and weight of the products. Pizza Hut's Super Supreme Pizza, with a nominal weight of 880 grams and a measured weight of 750 grams.
It is understood that this survey selected 8 representative pizza delivery shops in Jinshan District, Shanghai, of which 4 are brand chain stores, such as Domino's and Pizza Hut; 4 are privately owned shops, such as Zunbao Pizza.
The survey found that only the Domino's chain labeled both size and weight in the description of the product introduction, such as a "Australian Wagyu Shiitake Mushroom Pizza", which marked the size of the cake base and the weight of the reference, respectively. Pizza pizzas of pizza chains are only marked with weight, such as a super supreme pizza with only the weight of small, ordinary and large packages. The remaining 6 are only dimensioned.
It is worth noting that this survey found that in terms of footwork, brand chain stores do not necessarily perform better than private stores. Volunteers bought pizzas of the largest and smallest sizes or weights at each store for comparison, and in addition to Domino's, the other three brand chains were inaccurate in size or underweight in the survey. For example, Pizza Hut's Super Supreme Pizza has a nominal weight of 880 grams, and the actual weight after peeling and weighing is only 750 grams, missing 14.7%. In addition, 2 brand chain stores Zhigen Zhidi and Pizza King, and 1 private store Zunbao Pizza are smaller than the marked size.
In terms of ingredient consistency, 16 pizzas in 8 stores have a high degree of ingredient consistency, such as Muma Pizza, 10-inch products, 23 sausages in the promotional image, and 24 actual products.
In terms of price friendliness, the survey found that the price of most pizzas basically matched the physical product. Taking pizza of more than 100 yuan as an example, volunteers generally believe that Pizza Hut has the lowest value for money. In the case that the size is 1 inch smaller than the other 2 100-yuan pizzas, the weight is missing 130 grams, which is quite different in taste from the other 2 100-yuan pizzas.
In this regard, the Jinshan District Consumer Protection Commission hopes that the majority of merchants can eliminate the lack of two pounds, standardize the description of pizza size and weight, and let consumers clearly understand consumption.
