Margherita & Plain Pizza

Current posted Vancouver prices for comparable Margherita and plain pizzas span from neighbourhood value spots (C$14.99) through established craft and artisan concepts (C$18.50–C$20.00). The upper tier — anchored by Pizzeria Ludica and Flourist — has settled firmly above C$18. If your core Margherita is priced below C$18.50, this is the category to review first. Vancouver's craft pizza market has moved steadily upward, and a move toward C$19.25 aligns with where established local concepts are already pricing.

What this signal is
—and what it isn't.

Price Pulse is a public reference signal, not a personalised menu analysis.

Data Source

Source type: public_menu_pricing. Based on the official MenuGauge AI CA-Vancouver Pizza template (v3.1) and reviewed against currently posted Vancouver delivery menus. Not live market scraping.

Coverage

City: Vancouver (CA-Vancouver)
Industry: Pizza
Currency: CAD
Period: March 2026

Competitor Range Basis

The page shows a single reference range anchored on the Vancouver craft and artisan pizza tier (C$18.50–C$20.00), not p25, p50, or p75. All three observations are established Vancouver pizza concepts. It is designed to answer one question quickly: what to review this month.

Suggested Price Logic

Suggested prices are set at or above current pricing only. MenuGauge AI applies psychological price rounding for CAD price points — C$19.25 sits at the midpoint of the competitor range, rounded to a quarter-dollar. No downward adjustments are suggested.

Profit Gain Formula

This public page uses the low end of the competitor range: (C$19.25 − C$18.50) × 100 = C$75. Treat it as a directional estimate, not a personalised forecast.
