Billy from Modern Apizza was on with Chaz and AJ this morning, to celebrate being named "2023 Pizzeria of the Year" by Pizza Today. Billy went through the history of the restaurant, focusing on him taking over in the late 80's, and how they have changed some of their recipe in that time.
Look around beer today and it's easy to find lots … beyond it. Breweries are making hard seltzer, canned cocktails, wine, or opening up restaurant extensions. Whether it's over the counter at a taproom or in a store, the challenges to sell beer have never been more unique and plentiful as people can now choose to drink just about whatever they want in a variety of formats, flavors, and experiences. Which is part of the reason why the growth of New York City's Grimm Artisanal Ales shouldn't come as a surprise. The company was started a decade ago focused on beer, but the curiosity of its founders, Lauren and Joe Grimm, has helped it expand beyond it. Just over a year ago they launched Physica Wines, a wine-making spinoff focused on low-tech, spontaneous fermentations with regionally-sourced grapes and other fruit. Then more recently, it was Lala's, a New Haven-style pizzeria. All three businesses and their products share a similar passion and purpose and represent what Lauren and Joe see as natural extensions of their past decade of work. If you're a beer fan, you may know Grimm as a once-nomadic brewery making beers beloved by enthusiasts, whether IPAs for Wild Ales. But in this conversation, we'll get into what drives Lauren and Joe's interest in doing more beyond beer and how they go from experimenting with food and beverage at home to serving their creations for customers.
In this episode, another round table discussion, this time we find out what it takes to go from popping up to growing into a brick-and-mortar pizzeria.

They manifested brick-and-mortar locations through hard work, perseverance, and embracing the unknown. With wisdom forged in the fires, they share sage advice for those looking to follow a similar path. Learn about their trials and tribulations, overcoming negative reviews, and maintaining balance despite growing demand. Pull up a seat for an insider's view into some compelling stories of spreading joy and achieving doughy greatness through community, passion, and perseverance.
To my mind, the classic pizzeria is a glorious restaurant industry staple. For many, it is a glorious thing that acts as either a gateway restaurant to the world of dining, or for the older ones of us, a time capsule to memories past. They are timeless - filled with food, fun, and a good time, whether solo dining, date night, a family outing, or meeting up with friends. All seems right when there is good pizza and a cold drink.That is why I wanted to sit down with Marcos Costas, and Christopher Christian of the delicious and charming Dana Point pizzeria - aPizza Doho. We sit down to discuss their journey, life running a pizzeria, and working with the community to deliver a truly great pie.

60 pies a night. Be more in tune with your customers and your craft. Leave a legacy. Today we speak with Craig Melillo from Gracies Apizza. In this conversation, we talk about his switch from having employees to running the shop by himself. In his eyes, there is no better way to run it. Since going solo, Craig's dough has been more consistent- because if anything goes wrong there's no one else to blame. All mistakes must pass through him and only him providing an instant learning opportunity. Craig is the front of house, the person answering the phone, the prep and the cook. He controls the flow and the dance of working his wood fired oven and if you stick to the end of the show, you'll find out the biggest mistake for pizza owners is... to start a wood fired pizza business. But of course, Craig would not have it any other way. This is our second conversation together- Listen to the first one linked below. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0p4UrEiuRnRTOBtzoslr6l Follow Craig on IG@graciesapizza (he won't follow you back) https://www.instagram.com/graciesapizza Follow me on IG@whatsgooddough https://www.instagram.com/whatsgooddough/ Buy an Ooni! https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1232202&u=2800064&m=82053&urllink=&afftrack= Podcast Survey https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_DOdfM-Wpa7wyZUMgd7QG90spWHPNANz2q6V3Yf7o6g/edit Get your propane delivered (for cheaper
Brian Spangler has had a lot of jobs. Some in I.T., some in bread baking. But it's the four year period while working in rural Oregon that laid the foundation for what would become Apizza Scholls in Portland. We met Spangler in the hills of Montana - at The Resort at Paws Up - where he was tasked with recreating his long-fermented dough and baking pies in ovens he wasn't necessarily used to; no matter, he figured it all out and turned out some amazing pies.
Chaz and AJ spoke with a number of people involved in Vice President Kamala Harris' visit on Friday. New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker reveals the gift he decided on, East Haven Police Captain Joe Murgo talked about being a part of the security detail, and Jim from Zuppardi's Apizza in West Haven shared the pizza order made by the staff. Then, Chaz, Ashley and Phil welcomed AJ back following a week of recovery, by mocking his voice and teasing him for the video he shared to Facebook.
It's a classic episode of Right at the Fork! Brian Spangler's ascension into the psyche of Portland through his acclaimed and loved pizza started with the dough, learning how to bake in northern California while in college. That led him to buy an Oregon Farm, the Portland Farmers Market, a pub, and then to Hawthorne Blvd. He shares his story and Chick Fil A sandwiches with us, which for this episode, includes his friend Janis Martin of Tanuki sitting in to join in the conversation. Right at the Fork is supported by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com RingSide Steakhouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com

As my pizza journey continues, I meet more and more interesting people to learn from. Whether you're thinking about pizza as a business for the first time or you are a serious vet in the game, I really think there is a lot of knowledge that you can learn from Craig. He is the owner of Gracie's Apizza in Portland Oregon and we get into talking about locally sourced flour, amazing vegetables and quality cheese. We also talk a lot about the business side of things and there are some legitimate opinions that he has that you should probably consider as a pizza business owner. This episode is on the longer side, but I enjoyed listening to it multiple times and I have a feeling you will to. Follow Them on IG @graciesapizza Address: 8737 N Lombard St, Portland, OR 97203 https://www.graciesapizza.com/ Phone: (971) 512-0007 Full Transcript Here Craig: We did it super modest. I mean, I opened the restaurant for like, a little bit more than I opened the cart, maybe 50, 60 grand max. It doesn't take tons and tons of money to do that. And that's really what it boils down to. I think is being really realistic but also knowing you got to know what you're doing. Eidref: What's happening? What's good dough? It's your boy Eidref. How y'all doing? How are y'all doing? I'm doing great In case any of you were wondering. Today, we have Craig with Gracies of pizza. Craig is doing some awesome stuff over there in Portland, Oregon, where he has moved from a mobile unit to a storefront. And, he's really killing the game with a unique take on pizza using whole wheat, using some Kraft flour, and really just using quality ingredients. But really the highlight of this podcast isn't just about the pizza, we really dive in deep on lifestyle, business, a lot of the things that, you know, both rookie business owners and seasoned business owners should really consider. This is a great episode so sit back, relax and enjoy the show. And remember to always ask what's good dough? How are you? Craig: I'm pretty good. Eidref: Awesome, man. So, I want to start these off with this question. And there's no wrong answer. What's good dough? Craig: What's good dough? What a good question. Well, I guess for me, we'll go super technical about the dough itself. And to me, it's all about the wheat. I like to think that more than human being a pizza person or a dough person or a bread person that it really comes down to being a wheat person, which really goes down to being an agriculture person.

Give Piece a Chance Part 1: An Entrepreneur Disrupts Chicago's Food Scene About this episode: “There were plenty of naysayers. Chicago is known for deep dish pizza. That is what Chicago is. And people were telling me [you can't go] into Chicago with a New Haven-style pizza, because frankly, not many people know where New Haven is let alone what New Haven-style pizza is!” - Billy Jacobs, founder of Piece Pizzeria & Brewery In this episode, we learn how one entrepreneur dared—not once, but twice—to disrupt the established food scene in a major American city. L-R: In 1983, Pete, Billy, Steve, and Andy Jacobs launched Jacobs Brothers Bagels. In 1983, along with his three brothers, Billy Jacobs arrived in Chicago with a dream: to bring fresh New York-style bagels to the city's food scene. Their effort was a smashing success. After scaling Jacobs Brothers Bagels to 20 stores and hundreds of employees, they took a buy-out offer. Billy's brothers went on to second-act careers while Billy started dreaming again, to turn his next big disruption into reality. Piece's popular Hot Doug's Atomic Pizza. That's when his idea to bring to Chicago the classic New Haven-style pizza of his youth took shape. Soon after, Billy opened Piece Pizzeria and Brewery in Chicago's trendy Wicker Park neighborhood. According to industry trade publication Pizza Today, Piece Pizzeria and Brewery is the highest-grossing single location pizzeria in the United States. Joining us on this episode is our lifelong friend Stu Katz who provided wise counsel when Billy established his restaurants. In Give Piece a Chance part 1, we discover: Billy's early career dreams [starts at 3:23] The big moment that focused his entrepreneurial career [starts at 4:59] How and when the brothers introduced New York-style fresh bagels to Chicago [starts at 7:14] The big scale of Jacobs Brothers Bagels (and how Billy truly hated it) [starts at 15:55] Billy's “What were you thinking?” moment when he pursued opening a New Haven-style pizzeria [starts at 18:50] Billy and Stu's childhood memories of Sally's Apizza in New Haven, the inspiration for Piece [starts at 23:35] Piece's rewarding customer experience [starts at 26:48] About our guests: L-R: Dan Smolen, Stu Katz, and Billy Jacobs at Wrigley Field. Billy Jacobs received a Bachelor of Arts in History from Boston University. By his own admission, majoring in history was a wise study track for a degree in business administration would probably have ruined his entrepreneurial dreams. The New Haven, Connecticut native is a lifelong Ultimate Frisbee player and an avid Chicago Cubs fan who attends almost all home games.

Give Piece a Chance Part 1: An Entrepreneur Disrupts Chicago’s Food Scene About this episode: “There were plenty of naysayers. Chicago is known for deep dish pizza. That is what Chicago is. And people were telling me [you can’t go] into Chicago with a New Haven-style pizza, because frankly, not many people know where New Haven is let alone what New Haven-style pizza is!” - Billy Jacobs, founder of Piece Pizzeria & Brewery In this episode, we learn how one entrepreneur dared—not once, but twice—to disrupt the established food scene in a major American city. L-R: In 1983, Pete, Billy, Steve, and Andy Jacobs launched Jacobs Brothers Bagels. In 1983, along with his three brothers, Billy Jacobs arrived in Chicago with a dream: to bring fresh New York-style bagels to the city’s food scene. Their effort was a smashing success. After scaling Jacobs Brothers Bagels to 20 stores and hundreds of employees, they took a buy-out offer. Billy’s brothers went on to second-act careers while Billy started dreaming again, to turn his next big disruption into reality. Piece's popular Hot Doug's Atomic Pizza. That’s when his idea to bring to Chicago the classic New Haven-style pizza of his youth took shape. Soon after, Billy opened Piece Pizzeria and Brewery in Chicago’s trendy Wicker Park neighborhood. According to industry trade publication Pizza Today, Piece Pizzeria and Brewery is the highest-grossing single location pizzeria in the United States. Joining us on this episode is our lifelong friend Stu Katz who provided wise counsel when Billy established his restaurants.
