What information would you need and second, how would you analyze the pizza delivery market?

An estimate of the size of the Parisian home pizza delivery market. This could be obtained by knowing the population of Paris (6 million) and making some educated guesses about factors that determine pizza market size. You may also want to know the size of Spizza, the current competitor, including sales, number of stores, and proportion of Paris that is currently served by Spizza. Other useful information: market segments targeted and served by Spizza; market segments that are neglected by Spizza; what type of product do they offer; what do they charge for thier product; what is the cost structure of their business and what products are most profitable.
1. What is the total size of the Parisian home delivery pizza market and growth rate?
2. Which customer segments or geographic zones are underserved by Spizza?
3. What are Spizza's pricing and delivery economics — and where is Pizza Hut differentiated?
4. How will Spizza respond to Pizza Hut's entry?

Start with market sizing (population × pizza consumption frequency × average order value). Conduct a competitive analysis of Spizza. Identify underserved segments and build a go-to-market strategy targeting those gaps before Spizza responds.
