065. From Coal Mines to Pizza Pies: A Family’s Culinary Journey


Listen Later

A coal miner’s grit. A grandmother’s recipe. A family’s legacy built on pizza. 🍕

In this episode of Eat Your Content, author Erica D’Arcangelo reveals the untold story behind her book A Story About Pizza. How did her grandfather escape the coal mines to build a thriving pizzeria that still stands 65 years later? And what secrets does this story hold about resilience, immigration, and the power of food to connect us all?

Erica shares the unexpected inspiration for her book, the viral pizza videos that transformed her family’s business, and the debates over which recipes to include (spoiler: there’s pasta e fagioli drama). You’ll laugh, you’ll be inspired, and you might even crave pizza by the end.

Plus, we’re giving away a copy of Erica’s book! Stay tuned for details on how to win and join us for a journey filled with history, heart, and a little doughy magic.
