  • Balancing demand and minimizing waste—lessons Laura is still learning

  • Why owning a restaurant doesn't have to be a forever commitment, and how flexibility shapes her approach

  • The creation of a new approach to grandma style and Laura’s personal twist on pizza

  • A peek inside the kitchen: the tools and techniques that keep her business running smoothly

  • How Laura offers a wide variety of options without overcomplicating the menu or operations
