Less unit growth than projected in 2018 and less hype for 2019. While <strong>Pizza Hut<\/strong> can be counted on to open up 150 or so new units, it can also be counted on to close that many or more existing buildings.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves us with <strong>Domino\u2019s, MOD Pizza<\/strong>, <strong>Blaze Pizza and Marco\u2019s. <\/strong>Domino\u2019s recently announced that it would build 2,000 new US stores by 2025, and we can look for 250-300 this year. MOD Pizza has projected and consistently met its goal of 100 net new stores per year over the last few years, and there\u2019s no reason to believe they won\u2019t do it again. Blaze has slowed its roll, and its projections for the year are more in line with the reality of the past. Look for a solid 70 new stores before the year is out.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div class='tableauPlaceholder' id='viz1551109354694' style='position: relative'><noscript><a href='#'><img alt=' ' src='https:&#47;&#47;public.tableau.com&#47;static&#47;images&#47;Pi&#47;PizzaGrowth2019&#47;PizzaGrowth2019&#47;1_rss.png' style='border: none' \/><\/a><\/noscript><object class='tableauViz'  style='display:none;'><param name='host_url' value='https%3A%2F%2Fpublic.tableau.com%2F' \/><param name='embed_code_version' value='3' \/><param name='site_root' value='' \/><param name='name' value='PizzaGrowth2019&#47;PizzaGrowth2019' \/><param name='tabs' value='no' \/><param name='toolbar' value='yes' \/><param name='static_image' value='https:&#47;&#47;public.tableau.com&#47;static&#47;images&#47;Pi&#47;PizzaGrowth2019&#47;PizzaGrowth2019&#47;1.png' \/><param name='animate_transition' value='yes' \/><param name='display_static_image' value='yes' \/><param name='display_spinner' value='yes' \/><param name='display_overlay' value='yes' \/><param name='display_count' value='yes' \/><\/object><\/div>\n<p>                <script type='text\/javascript'>                    var divElement = document.getElementById('viz1551109354694');                    var vizElement = divElement.getElementsByTagName('object')[0];                    vizElement.style.width='700px';vizElement.style.height='327px';                    var scriptElement = document.createElement('script');                    scriptElement.src = 'https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/javascripts\/api\/viz_v1.js';                    vizElement.parentNode.insertBefore(scriptElement, vizElement);                <\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marco\u2019s <\/strong>has added around 100 new units a year since 2012, but the company slowed expansion in 2018.
