What You Need to Know BEFORE Opening Your First Pizzeria WITH Nick Bogacz<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"WhatNick Bogacz<\/a> once opened two new locations in four months. But the time spent between getting the keys and opening the doors was far shorter \u2013 15 days for the first and 30 days for the second. Thirty days, in fact, is the longest it\u2019s ever taken him to open a store \u2013 and that was only because the building itself had been unoccupied for three years and needed several repairs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Someone asked him why he decided to open his new stores so quickly, and he said he really didn\u2019t know there was another option. He always thought it was normal to open a store in a week or two, so he has a proven process and a system to successfully do just that \u2013 and you can too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sourdough Pizza Dough WITH Will Grant<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"SourdoughWill Grant<\/a> burst on the culinary scene about a decade ago, when he won several international competitions using his family\u2019s 129-year-old sourdough starter. He began his career at the ripe age of eight, working in the kitchen of his family\u2019s restaurant, That\u2019s A Some Pizza, on Bainbridge Island, Washington. By age 10, he was apprenticing under several different chefs and, into his late teens, he had helped to open five restaurants.<\/p>\n

As a young man, he decided to strike out on his own, leaving the family business for the East Coast to gain experience running kitchens at major chains such as Red Robin and Bertucci\u2019s while learning alongside some of the world\u2019s best chefs, including Wolfgang Puck.<\/p>\n

Eventually, he returned to the Pacific Northwest and That\u2019s A Some Pizza \u2013 but this time as owner and head chef. In 2020, Grant opened Sourdough Willy\u2019s Slice House in Kingston, Washington, which offers six styles of sourdough pizza; in 2021, he opened Sourdough Willy\u2019s Dining Room.<\/p>\n

Carryout & Delivery Done Right WITH Michael Androw<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"CarryoutMichael Androw<\/a> is an award winning pizzaiolo and member of the World Pizza Champions. The grandson of Italian bakery owners, Androw began his pizza-making career in 1986. Currently, his E&D Pizza Co. concept is one of Connecticut\u2019s most decorated and popular destinations for thin-crust, Italian style pizza. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you operate a unit that is strictly DELCO or have a full-service dining component, focusing on maximizing carryout and delivery capabilities can yield huge results. With the right systems, packaging, marketing and operational savvy in place, your business can soar to new heights. <\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, when deciding which tradeshow to attend, general food-service shows are precisely that \u2013 even if they claim to have an Italian pavilion and a few pizza and pasta exhibitors. To succeed in today\u2019s fiercely competitive restaurant marketplace, you need access to all the latest strategies and product innovations. Pizza Expo Columbus is your one-stop solution. <\/span><\/p>\n
