Starting A Wood Fired Pizzeria in No-Man's Land with Daniel of Fired Pizza

You want to make the best pizza, but the location you found is in the middle of nowhere. Will your business survive? After years in sales, Daniel felt the urge to make a big change. With the support of his wife, he decided to take a leap and use his savings to start his own pizza business. Highlights: -Fired Pizza Found this location off the beaten path. Since opening a year and a half ago, they've made over a million dollars in sales and are going strong, but will they last? -Pandemic Pivot – Fired pizza started off in catering, but during COVID, Daniel and Sarah decided to take it to the streets, offering outdoor dining and hosting “Fired Fridays” to keep the business alive. -A Year of Renovation – Daniel and Sarah spent a year renovating their pizzeria, funding it all themselves without a loan. -The Pizza-Making Process – Daniel takes us behind the scenes of how he makes his wood-fired pizzas, from picking the right ingredients to perfecting the bake.
