This week, Josh and Denise sit down with Jay Hansji, owner of Pizza Buzz in Watauga, Texas. He shares how one pizza catapulted his business into a huge 6,000-squre-foot building. He even tried to discontinue the pizza and the people revolted.

Pizza Buzz is known for unique pizzas, from the famous pickle pizza and birria pizza to tandoori pizza and even customer creations as pizza of the month like the chicken parm pizza. We also talk about introducing Detroit-style pizza. 

We talk about what happened when Pizza Buzz moved from a small DELCO shop to a large sit-down eatery.

Jay also shares the pizza he made for International Pizza Challenge at Pizza Expo. We talk competition pizzas. 

We talk about Jay’s background and how he was able to grow the business from using frozen dough to award-winning pizzas. Jay shares how the pizza community helped him progress. 

We close on advice Jay has for blossoming pizza makers.
