In recent years, the number of employees in the industry has grown from 2 in 2021 to a peak of 14 in 2024, before declining to 8 in 2026.

Sales and operating results for pizza restaurants in Østre Toten are not reported in the data, which may indicate that the companies are new or have limited operational activity. The number of employees, however, has shown clear growth: from 2 in 2021 to 14 in 2024, before declining to 8 in 2026. The most significant increase occurred between 2022 and 2023 (+400%), which may be attributed to the opening of new locations or expansion of existing companies.

Two companies are registered in the pizza restaurant sector in Østre Toten:

1. Toscana Restaurant Og Pizzeria Kapp As (Mjøsvegen 477, Kapp) – AS-form, 7 employees
2. Mustafa Mamas (Seierstadgutua 83, Lena) – ENK-form, 0 employees

The organizational forms show that AS is the only registered form in the municipality for this industry. Mustafa Mamas has no employees, which may indicate that the company is in its early stages or operates with part-time personnel.

Activity in the pizza restaurant sector is distributed across two districts in Østre Toten:

• Kapp: 1 company (Toscana Restaurant Og Pizzeria Kapp As), 7 employees
• Lena: 1 company (Mustafa Mamas), 0 employees

This shows that Kapp is the main hub for pizza restaurant activity in the municipality, with an existing operation. Lena has potential for future development, especially with a recently launched company.

This may indicate that the sector is in a phase of both growth and adjustments. Data on operating results is missing, making it difficult to assess economic stability for individual companies.

For entrepreneurs in the pizza restaurant industry in Østre Toten, there are both opportunities and challenges.
