In this episode we are joined by Frankie, founder of HapaZa Pizza in Oakland. Frankie takes us through his journey starting a pop-up pizzeria and how he incorporates community and culture into his craft.

HapaZa was founded in 2020 as a COVID hobby, by Oakland native Frankie. During the shutdown he made pizzas out of the house for friends and family. “Hapa” a Hawaiian term for mixed heritage, represents his style of Piz“Za”; Neapolitan inspired sourdough crust with fun, unique toppings. Frankie has grown his team and made over 4,000 pizzas, donated to social causes and Fire Victims, and "popped-up" at bars, restaurants and private parties. He's still happily and thankfully employed as an architect, but will make a pizza any chance he gets!
