July 16, 2021 [WGD76] Pop up shutdowns, meme accounts and the beauty of networking with Ben Roberts from Pizza Supreme Being
When the health department shuts you down, what do you do? Give up, or fight? Ben Roberts is the owner and operator of Pizza Supreme Being in Sacramento, CA. Before his brick in mortar, he dabbled in fine dining but ultimately decided that life was not for him as in the people he was serving weren't his people. Ben ultimately landed on pizza after asking himself what he truly loved, appreciated, and what medium of food he could apply his fine dining finesse on. What is amazing about Ben's story is that he never gives up, uses his connections wisely, and he has the ability to use his positive outlook in life for the worst situations. For example, Ben finds himself getting shut down doing his pop up and rather than bad mouth the Health Department, he consistently followed up and ended up befriending he person in charge. By doing so, he was greatly responsible for allowing pop ups to happen in the county of Sacramento, CA. There's a lot more to Ben's story than just this so make sure to sit back, relax and enjoy the show- and remember to always ask, What's Good Dough?

July 12, 2021 Level Up Real Quick: Don’t play yourself if you play the game with Cam from Guerrilla Pizza Kitchen
Why do we get into pizza? Is it to make amazing pizza. Is it to have a business that supports you and your loved ones? Why do so many people fall into this trap of chasing fame?
Cam believes that people should know and understand one word- "Enough."
If you get into pizza for fame and accolades, not only do you have to work your ass off, but you have to bend over backwards for gatekeepers who don't give a damn about you. And if that is something you want, fine. But ask yourself, "Why?" and "Who might I hurt if I take this path?" "Can I chase this dream with integrity and keep my authenticity?"
Welcome to the esoteric bull sh!t that Cam and I talk about. This segment and episode might be a bit deep, maybe even dark. But hey, we can learn from everyone, right?
This segment reminds of a few words that John Arena shared with me in our episode together-
"I think the modern generation of pizza makers has done some extraordinary work, but we also have some people that the work itself is just a tool for personal fame. The fame is just an accidental by-product of doing good work. I think what's important is that the pizzaiolo serves the craft and the craft is not there to serve the pizzaiolo."

July 09, 2021 [WGD 74] Finding your voice, standing up for others and the evils of gatekeepers with Cam Hanin Guerrilla Pizza Kitchen
This is not your regular light hearted conversation. The convo starts off that way, but we get into a deeper topic regarding the darker side of the restaurant industry. Definitely an interesting conversation that folks need to hear.

Whether its buying a new pizza oven, choosing right flour, or buying a house, a decision matrix eliminates all emotion and helps you make a rational choice. In this show, I grabbed a piece of the conversation with my episode with Mal and afterwards, I break it down a little further with my input.
Please let me know what your thoughts are on this type of show

July 02, 2021 [WGD 73] Comedian turned pizza maker, decision matrix, and f$ck up banks with Mal Hall
What's better than listening to a professional comedian that does pizza pop ups? Mal Hall is a hilarious and humble dude who turned to pizza when he found out that doing comedy tours was temporarily halted. In this episode we talk about how and why he got started, where he pops ups and so much more.
What I find super interesting about this episode is that Mal came into pizza with some existing influence. I could not wait to get into learning about whether or not he actually had #thesehands, or if he was selling selfies, signed pizza boxes and slices. Just kidding- I don't give a crap what you do to sell your pizzas as long as you're doing what you love with good intentions.
But if you care as much about the craft as Mal does, you have to seek the truth: Are people are buying your pizzas because they are fire, or because you are a charity case? Mal's method of finding out if people were actually into his pies was to send out anonymous surveys. Genius- I survey all of my guests at my pop-ups through a google survey. And if I have down time or a guests comes early, I strike up the conversation there. Theres no other feedback quite like this. Its instant and guests have to think quick on their feet. Less BS. I ask, "How were the directions? What did you think of the menu? Have you had my pies before?" Securing feedback about the experience, even if it's just feedback leading up to the moment before getting the pizza is so valuable. And if you don't want to talk or can't talk or want true and honest feedback- a survey is a great way to go.
I linked my pizza feedback survey below. Feel free to check it out and use any and all of the questions for your next pop up.

June 28, 2021 [Level Up Real Quick] The problem with using Caputo in North America
Flour should be fresh. Period.
If you've ever heard, "The best flour for pizza is caputo pizzeria (caputo blue) flour," you're not alone. It is a great flour, don't get it twisted, but the flour and brand do have its shortcomings.
In this week's podcast, I interview Rafi, the owner and operator of Hilltown Hot Pies. This short segment is taken from a 1 hour long podcast [WGD72] where we discuss food sustainability, mobile trucks, and pizza mentorship.
While Caputo undoubtedly makes great products, Rafi makes a compelling argument to source flours manufactured and produced in your local area. We believe that pizza is made with simple and fresh ingredients and thus your flour should be reflective of that.
For Americans especially, there are so many options that don't require exporting products from North America, to Italy, only to import it back to America. While we'll have to discuss why Caputo Blue isn't the end all be all for pizza in another video, the point that Rafi makes is clear- flour should fresh.
