Pizza Today<\/em>\u00a0was launched in 1984 when a pizzeria owner in the tiny town of Santa Claus, Indiana, realized he needed help growing his business. \u201cSurely,\u201d he thought, \u201cthere must be a periodical or tradeshow that can give me the type of advice I need to be successful.\u201d Well, he was wrong. So he started a magazine himself,\u00a0<\/span>Pizza Today<\/em>, and brought in the industry\u2019s top consultants and experts to provide the type of critical information you still find in our pages three decades later. In 2015, the magazine was acquired by Emerald Expositions in San Juan Capistrano, California. Today,\u00a0<\/span>Pizza Today\u00a0<\/span><\/em>and International Pizza Expo offices are located in Louisville, Kentucky. The magazine has undergone many changes through the years, from redesigns to moving its offices to Louisville. Our latest and most significant improvement is represented right here, on the pizzatoday.com site, complete with video, recipes, an enhanced vendor directory and the ability to open and read each new issue of the magazine on your desktop or mobile device.<\/span><\/p>\n
