Pizza Restaurants in Kongsberg

The pizza restaurant industry in Kongsberg is a small but dynamic sector with two registered companies. In recent years, the industry has shown both strong growth and challenges, especially after the coronavirus pandemic. There is a clear increase in the number of employees and sales in 2025, which may indicate a recovering market. At the same time, there is a large variation in annual results, which may be a challenge for new players.

According to data from 2025, the pizza restaurant industry in Kongsberg has a total sales of NOK 10.8 million and 34 employees. Sales have grown by 2033.5% from 2024 to 2025, which is an extremely strong increase. The number of employees has increased from 19 in 2024 to 34 in 2025, an increase of 36%. This shows a significant improvement after a period of decline in 2020 and 2021.

Two companies are registered in the pizza restaurant industry in Kongsberg:

1. Kraft Pizzeria Kongsberg As (Stortorvet senter, Storgata 28) – AS form, established 2023, 26 employees, no bankruptcy.
2. Kongsberg Galaxy Pizza As (Sandsværveien 223) – AS form, established 2013, 12 employees, no bankruptcy.

Both companies are ASs, and there are no companies in other organizational forms in the industry. Kraft Pizzeria has no reported financial data, while Kongsberg Galaxy Pizza has an EBITDA margin of 22% and a gross profit of 65%.

All two companies in the industry are located in Kongsberg. There is no further subdivision by other city districts or areas within the municipality. There is no registered activity in other parts of the municipality for this industry.

There are no bankruptcy registrations for the pizza restaurant industry in Kongsberg in the data. However, sales data show a large variation: from NOK 0 in 2020 to NOK 10.8 million in 2025. This may indicate that the industry is very sensitive to external factors such as pandemics, but has shown great resilience after recovering in 2022 and 2023.

The data suggest that the pizza restaurant industry in Kongsberg has good growth potential, especially after the extreme increase in 2025. This growth may be due to increased population numbers, tourism, or changes in consumer preferences. However, new players should be aware of the large variation in sales and number of employees, which may be an indication of market uncertainty.

Compared to the broader restaurant/café sector in Kongsberg, which had 58 companies in 2025, the pizza restaurant industry is a small subgroup. The broader sector had a total sales of NOK 94.1 million in 2025, while the pizza restaurant industry had NOK 10.8 million. However, the pizza restaurant industry had a higher EBITDA margin (22%) compared to the average in the broader sector. Examples of competitors in the broader sector include Privat Restaurantdrift As (café, NOK 10 million sales) and Sac Drift As (restaurant, NOK 33.1 million sales).

The pizza restaurant industry in Kongsberg shows both potential and challenges. With strong growth in 2025 and a high EBITDA margin, the industry can be attractive for new players. However, attention should be paid to the large variation in sales and number of employees over time.
