Now, a few years later, Mike's Hot Honey is everywhere. Hear the whole success story straight from Mike.

Derrick not only makes the classics from the Brooklyn menu, but has added his own creativity, including a square pie (aka Detroit-Style) that won the Unites States pizza championship. Of course, it has an amazing crust and is made with bacon, so no need to say more.....

Welcome to our new series Pizza Quest. This inaugural episode features our recurring panel of pizza gurus, John Arena and Brian Spangler. We call them the Pizza Yodis, and in this episode we focus on tinkering with your dough in search of perfection. In future episodes we’ll be adding others to the Yodi panel in this never-ending quest to explore the full gamut of knowledge collectively held by the pizza and artisan community. We take seriously our motto, “A journey of self-discovery through pizza,” so be prepared for some deep, thoughtful conversations as well as lots of fun and entertaining features.

Join the conversation!  Pizza Quest is certainly about pizza, but it’s so much more!  It’s an engaging celebration of artisanship in all its shapes and forms. Award winning author Peter Reinhart interviews many of the greatest pizza makers in the world, as well as growers, cheese makers, millers, and food producers of all kinds who all who have one thing in common: an unquenchable drive to experience and express the highest level of excellence in their work, and to share it with their friends, family, and customers.  Peter explores the varying journeys that led them to achieve prominence in their fields, and also offers listeners demonstrations of their craft, whether making their signature pizzas, or taking us on an in-depth tasting tour of their olive oil, tomatoes, cheeses, and toppings. As Peter is fond of saying, “It’s more about the quest than the pizza, and the quest never ends.”
