Abstract: Population growth has generated a great demand for food production, making the topic of sustainability gain importance. Pizza is a practical and very common food in the lives of São Paulo residents; its delivery is very common, requiring more disposables and its baking requires firewood, gas or energy. All of these issues are harmful to the environment if not consumed and planned carefully. The main target of this paper is “To evaluate the practice of environmental sustainability in pizzerias in the city of São Paulo”. This is a study with a sample of 15 pizzerias. A questionnaire based on the proposed by Nóbrega, Veiros and Rocha (2018) was applied. The questions were scored using the Excel instrument and classified as “very good” when the score reaches 90 to 100%, “good” from 75 to 89%, “acceptable” from 50 to 74%, and “not acceptable” if lower or equal to 49%. From the pizzerias, 80% (n = 12) are classified as “acceptable”, 20% (n = 3) as “good” and none as “very good” or “not acceptable”. It is concluded that the efficient management of water and energy, combined with the physical structure of pizzerias, demonstrates an initial commitment to sustainable practices. However, the measures least practiced by restaurants were the implementation of comprehensive waste management measures, which are crucial, including recycling organic waste, reducing the use of disposables, and prioritizing recycled materials in the structure and operation of the pizzeria. It is suggested that more studies need to be done on this subject, specifically in pizzerias.
