Pizza Expo starts soon. To get hyped up for the Las Vegas show, we\u2019re chatting with Nick Bogacz, founder of Caliente Pizza & Draft House in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His deep-dive, four-hour workshop is part of the 2025 School of Pizzeria Management Workshops that will kick off Pizza Expo week on Sunday, long before the show floor opens Tuesday.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n His session, \u201cYou Opened Your First Pizzeria! Now What???\u201d gives insights into labor costs, food costs and guerilla marketing. We chat about the workshop and his two education sessions, \u201cManaging Your Inventory\u201d and \u201cPurchasing an Existing Pizzeria\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With more than 20 years of experience in the industry, he opened his first location in 2012 in Pittsburgh and has grown to four current locations. Caliente has won numerous awards in the industry, including 2016\u2019s first place in the Pan Division of the International Pizza Challenge at Pizza Expo. We talk competition and how he predicts his team will do.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Nick is bringing 14 Caliente team members to Pizza Expo. We chat about how his team will make the most of the show. He shares the Impact Primer that he has his team complete before they go. I\u2019ve included it in the show notes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Learn more about Caliente Pizza & Draft House at <\/span>https:\/\/worldsbestpizza.com\/<\/span><\/a> and on Instagram at <\/span>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/caliente_pizza\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Safe travel to Las Vegas and we will see you at the show.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Show Notes:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Keep up with all things Pizza Expo News and Updates in the Pizza Expo News Hub at <\/span>https:\/\/pizzatoday.com\/topics\/industry-news\/pizza-expo-2025-all-news-from-the-worlds-largest-pizza-show\/<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Don’t forget to check out the poster at the Pizza Today booth.
