As a result, many restaurants had to change their practices, the pizza restaurant industry in the U.S. included.

The most common best practice was regularly and visibly wiping down sneeze guards, tables, door handles, etcetera. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 best practice used by the least amount of pizza restaurants was conducting regular third-party food safety inspections and showing results.
