If You’re Not Winning in Your Business, Listen to Daniel of Fired Pizza

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Daniel, the founder of Fired Pizza, a business born from his childhood love of pizza. Growing up in the '90s, pizza was always his go-to comfort food, but he never imagined it would turn into a career. After years in sales, Daniel felt the urge to make a big change. With the support of his wife Sarah, he decided to take a leap and use his savings to start his own pizza business.

Highlights:

  • From Sales to Pizza – Daniel’s leap from a stable career in sales to following his passion for pizza.

  • Pandemic Pivot – With no catering clients during COVID, Daniel and Sarah decided to take it to the streets, offering outdoor dining and hosting “Fired Fridays” to keep the business alive.

  • Building Relationships – The importance of educating customers and making the pizza experience personal.

  • A Year of Renovation – How Daniel and Sarah spent a year renovating their pizzeria, funding it all themselves without a loan.

  • The Fired Pizza Journey – From a mobile setup to a full-fledged pizzeria, Daniel reflects on how Fired Pizza grew into the success it is today.
