Today, we've got Michael Hanna joining us from the flavorful streets of Saint Vito Focacceria, Nashville, Tennessee. In this episode, we're gonna dive deep into the dough, uncover Michael's backstory, and explore what makes their pizzas so darn delicious.
Highlights:
Recognition of the importance of consistency in offering the same product every time to customers.
On the note of consistency, it’s almost never going to be consistent with a high hydration naturally level Pizza that is affected by the differing hands that touch it, and the weather that is outside of your control. 
Despite the difficulties, Michael emphasizes the importance of resilience and perseverance, noting that setbacks are inevitable but can be overcome with determination.
Michael and I  express a shared commitment to building a welcoming community within our respective businesses, fostering connections and a sense of belonging.
