Due to time constraints, changing lifestyles, and the rise of dual-income households, consumers are increasingly favouring ready-to-eat convenience foods over traditional meals. Despite their economic significance and growing demand, comprehensive research on the factors influencing the choice of ready-to-eat foods is lacking. This study aims to evaluate the impact of convenience, time constraints, cooking skills, price, processing technology, sensory appeal, quality, safety, and health on the purchase and consumption of ready-to-eat pizza. We surveyed 500 consumers using a structured questionnaire and employed statistical analysis methods for validation. Our findings indicate that convenience (β=0.85) is the primary determinant of purchase and consumption, followed by competitive pricing (β=0.83), cooking skills (β=0.72), sensory appeal (β=0.69), processing technology (β=0.68), quality (β=0.63), healthiness (β=0.60), safety (β=0.56), and time constraints (β=0.51).
