Listen to the Pizza Today Team talk Hot Takes on The Hot Slice Podcast<\/h2>\n

This week, we\u2019re bringing you a fun episode with the Pizza Today Team giving our \u201cHot Takes\u201d on pizza. And we didn\u2019t even talk about pineapple on pizza. We dive into pizza styles. Whether\u00a0toppings go over or under the cheese<\/a>, chicken\u2019s place, charring on pizza, olives, best cheese on pizza, childhood pizzas and more.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also inviting you to send us your \u201cHot Takes\u201d. We\u2019re giving a fresh direction on the old-fashioned letters to the editor. We call it \u201cHot Take\u201d. Do you have a \u201cHot Take\u201d on a subject relevant to pizzeria operators and the pizza business? This is a space for you, the pizza professional, to share your passionate and succinct opinion with fellow pizzeria operators.<\/p>\n

Hot Take is designed to allow you to share personal narratives and commentary, challenge industry norms, introduce big ideas or offer a new perspective. It\u2019s an opportunity to focus on hot-button pizzeria topics, from operational concerns, trends, safety and community to workplace culture, technology and everything in between.<\/p>\n

Our \u201cHot Take\u201d section is a dynamic and interactive way for Pizza Today and our readers to capture the pulse of what\u2019s on the minds of pizzeria operators with urgency and personality. Hot Takes are short writings in an informal style, usually written in first person.<\/p>\n
