A Covid Creation turned Pizza Empire: The rise of How ya Doughn's creator Garret Goodman


Listen Later

There are many restaurant establishments in the South Florida area and one that recently opened as a result of the covid pandemic was How Ya Doughn. A pizza establishment created in the house of family man Garrett Goodman in central boca. While most of the world shut down, Garretts former business and team went to working remotely.  With being at home so much and a true foodie, Garrett began making his own style  of pizza in a pizza oven he had seen his friend have on the balcony of his apartment. As with any creation there were multiple trials and testings before he was satisfied with the end product. Originally, he made pizzas for his wife and a few neighbors, but the buzz grew about the insane taste and flavor profiles. After some time of people asking about it they decided to make more to sell to the locals as most restaurants were closed and it was a fun way to pass the time and enjoy being home even more. What started as a couple pizzas every hour turned into 150-200 pizzas a week. 

The journey of How Ya Doughn was born and Garrett and his family never looked back. He sold his portion of the company he was a part of and dove head first into the restaurant business with the opening of his first brick and mortar location in east boca off federal and Spanish river. A ton of local and community support spread the word of his pizza and brought people from all over to try it out. He was even featured on Dave Portnoys barstool page - One bite everyone knows the rules and received an amazing score. It went viral and led Garrett to make a decision to look for more locations which are set to open within several months into next year spread around the South Florida area. 

He believes in team, culture and delivering the best possible experience to his customers without exception. He also speaks on the sacrifice necessary to go after your dreams and commit to a routine that works for you and never let up on it. He and his wife are the perfect team and have their strengths which contribute to the overall success of How Ya doughn. If you haven't tried a pie yet, you are missing out and must head over to @howyadoughn or head over to their website at www.howyadoughn.com. I suggest the Hot mozz but there are many other fine pies to choose from. Enjoy the show!
