John Gristina grew up around pizza in the Bronx, fought it for years, lost a partnership, and walked away from the industry for 13 years. Then COVID hit. He started doing pop-ups. And the business that once burned him pulled him back in. Today John owns Pizza Fenice in Pelham, New York — Fenice meaning Phoenix in Italian. In this episode, he and Tyrell talk about the hard decision to walk away, the 13 years rebuilding his life, and what it finally took to go back. They get into his doug...

https://blacksicilian.com/bio/sedrick-crawley Chef Sedrick Crawley built something that does not look like anything else in the pizza space. Black Sicilian Pizza Company is a ghost kitchen in Maryland delivering 100 to 120 pies a day — minimum 3-day cold fermentation, luxury-brand-named pizzas (the Birkin, the Louie, the Chanel No. 5), and a brand identity rooted in hip hop culture and Black identity. Most days they sell out. That is on purpose. Chef Sed came to pizza through Pizza Univ...

In this Takeout Tip episode of the Pizza King Podcast, Tyrell Reed gives a quick store update from Westshore Valrico as April wraps up. Sales were up in January, February, and March, but the bigger lesson is where that growth came from. A lot of the increase came from third-party sales, which can be some of the most expensive sales a pizza shop gets. Tyrell talks through the need to grow first-party sales, rewards members, email, text, local store marketing, postcards, box toppe...
