Charles Canaankamp spent 34 working at a local pizzeria in Ohio. Two years ago, he decided it was time to open his own pizzeria with his children. Pronto Pizza & Coffee in Manfield, Ohio, was born of Charles’ love and passion for pizza.

He shares what he has learned in the industry over the years that has been integral to his pizza startup.

Charles’ goal was to build a business with his 3 daughters and one son. Learn more about how the family has divvyed the roles and responsibilities of the business. 

Over the past year, the location has experienced reoccurring costly electrical issues that have fried thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment. Even with the those growing pains, the business has been able to grow 8% month-over-month. Find out how Charles handled the situation and continued to grow. 

Explore how adding a breakfast and coffee program has added to the business.
