Think opening a pizzeria requires half a million dollars in the bank? Think again. In this episode, I'm breaking down what it really costs to start a pizza shop from scratch—whether you're hustling on a $50K budget or building something bold with $500K+. 

We cover every stage of the journey, from choosing your location to buying equipment, budgeting for marketing, and navigating the hidden costs that most new owners overlook. I’ll also walk you through your funding options—including the pros and cons of savings, SBA loans, investors, and crowdfunding. 

You'll learn: 

  • What kind of shop you can open at different budget levels
  • Where every dollar goes pre-opening (with tools to plan it right)
  • The most common surprise costs that kill momentum
  • How to start lean, smart, and fast—without cutting corners


If you’re dreaming of opening your own shop, don’t just guess your way through it. Grab the Idea to Open guide and plug into the free startup tools I’ve built to help you open stronger and smarter.
