Welcome back to Pizza Quest 2025, for a new season with lots of new and exciting guests! 

We kick off the new season with Chef David Nayfeld, chef and owner of a hot new restaurant in the shadow of San Francisco's dynamic sports complex in an area called Thrift City (the restaurant is located on Warrior Way, lest there be any doubt about Chef Nayfeld's lifelong allegiance to Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors).  Che Fico Pizzeria (pronounced "kay-fico") is doing crisp, "slightly but intentionally-charred" slices and pies, as well as a very inventive Italian-themed menu of starters, sandwiches, and salads. (You can see the menu by going to cheficopizzeria.com and navigating through the lunch and dinner menus).  David is also the author of a new book called, "Dad, What's for Dinner?" with gourmet but accessible dishes you can make at home for and with your family. Chef Nayfeld has an extensive and impressive pedigree, having worked for some of the world's most famous chefs and restaurants, like Eleven Madison Park, Joel Rubuchon, and Aqua, and is now in the early stages of building his own restaurant empire, Back Home Hospitality, in the SF Bay area and beyond. Tune in to meet a chef who has paid his dues, found his own culinary voice, and is on the rise so that, when the awards start rolling in, you can say you heard about him here first. As we often say, "It's more about the quest than it is about the pizza, and the quest never ends." Enjoy!
