🍕 Today we talk about marketing your pizzeria- Christina is consistently posting, mailing, and as a result is getting customers. 🍕 She started in the food world with a meal prep business and eventually decided to leverage her kitchen space and team to launch a pizza business, which she immediately fell in love with. 🍕 The pandemic caused her meal prep business to 6x overnight, making it challenging to keep up with demand. She ultimately sold her business and stuck with pizza. 🍕 Despite the challenges with build-outs and break-ins, Christina runs an amazing business with a solid team. Recently her store was ranked number 37 in the nation. 🍕 Christina’s advice to other entrepreneurs is to not let their egos or lack of self-confidence get in the way and just go out there and get it!

Imagine this, you are a skilled pizza maker and don't want to confine yourself to one style. Well this gem of a service is not so out of the box in traditional Japanese culture but its the type of innovation we love to see in the pizza world. The pizzakase is essentially a way to serve up all the pizza styles and combinations you as a maker are feeling that day and serve it up to your guests. Not only do you get to make what you love, but this experience is $$$ too. Ooni Pizza Ovens Affiliate⁠ ⁠Corto Olive Affiliate⁠ ⁠Famag Mixer Affiliate⁠ ⁠Gusto Payroll Affiliate
