On this episode, I talk with Jerry Benedetto. If you’ve been active on Instagram in the last year or so, you may know Jerry as the man behind the Instagram account, Jerry’s Pizza. What started as a quest to make pizza that tasted like what he had growing up in Chicago, turned into thousands of pizza fans, and a waitlist a year and a half long.

Jerry and I talk all about growing up in Chicago, why he started making pizzas in the first place, and what’s next for some of Portland’s best pizza.
