The Banter

The Guys are stoked about The Restaurant Guys LIVE with Rocco DiSpirito taking place at the theater next door on March 14, 2025! In other earth-shattering news, Francis changes his mind.

The Conversation

The Restaurant Guys welcome pizza pioneer Daniel Holzman who was determined to bring NYC slices to LA. They discuss some of the challenges and joys of great pizza and why Daniel wants to share that with California. 

The Inside Track

The Guys and Daniel, co-host of On the Line, talk about the loss of food journalism and how a quality podcast can help fill that void.

“You start to see the breakdown of information that is actually useful to people, which for me is the biggest sadness. I think (the podcast) definitely plays a useful and realistically a positive role in society, which is a nice place to start if you're going to think about adding something to the already overcrowded conversation,” Daniel Holzman on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2025

Bio

Daniel started his cooking career at the age of 15 at Le Bernardin in New York City until he attended the Culinary Institute of America. 

In 2010, Daniel co-founded The Meatball Shop in New York City followed by five more locations.

He moved to LA to embark on a new passion, pizza, and opened Danny Boy's Famous Original in 2021. He opened his second location in the summer 2024, and has his plans for a third.

He is the co-author of Food IQ: 100 Questions, Answers, and Recipes to Raise Your Cooking Smarts, and The Meatball Shop Cookbook.

He is a co-host of On the Line podcast with Amanda Freitag.
