This week on The Hot Slice, we sit down with Dan Collier. Dan Collier is co-owner and President of PizzaMan Dan’s, a regional chain in Southern California with 8 locations founded in 2012. Dan began his pizza career as a delivery driver in 1984. He served as President for a 20-store chain from 1987-2002 before becoming a Franchisee from 2002-2012.

Dan has been a speaker and educator at Pizza Expo, sharing his successes and, more importantly, his failures with fellow pizza operators and owners since 2002. Dan has also written articles for Pizza Today magazine.

We talk with Dan about his store growth and adding an additional unit. He shares concept direction, how the new store has performed and what has been key to that success.

Dan also surprises us with a new concept development that required him to change his perception of third-party delivery. Find out more about his new Los Angeles-based ghost kitchen concept.
