From Tartine to Opening a Community First Brick and Mortar with Ashely Patino @ Pizza Bones

From Tartine to Opening a Community First Brick and Mortar with Ashely Patino @ Pizza Bones

I am SUPER excited to share Ashely’s story with you all because I love everything she is about. 

Originally from Richmond Virginia, her goal from the start was to move to SF to learn skills that she could ultimately bring back to her hometown. She landed jobs at the world-renowned Tartine and SF favorite, Pizzeria Del Popolo.

Today she runs pizza bones, a community-oriented brick-and-mortar pizzeria serving anti-Neapolitan pizzas. She talks about the ups and downs of being a business owner- from running a pop up with a torn ACL, to managing customer expectations after burning their pizzas
