How to Get Into the Pizza Business
Dec 12th, 2009 by pizzatherapy

  If you ever thought about getting into the pizza business I have a resource with inside tricks and tips about the pizza business.

 Hi my name is is Albert Grande, owner of Pizza Therapy, a resource for pizza. I have been featured in three books about pizza, been on radio, television,  newspapers, magazines, and of course the Internet.

  I know about pizza. As a matter of fact, I was recently given the name: "The Pizza Promoter".

I have interviewed the best pizzaiolo (pizza masters) in the world.

Over the years, I have gotten hundreds of emails from people, just like you,
wanting information about getting into the pizza business.

I would research their questions and answer it. After a while, I noticed that I had collected a vast amount of information that would be very valuable for anyone who wanted to know about the pizza business.

Here are some of the actual questions:

  • Where can I find the best pizza dough recipe?

  • How do I find a pizza place for sale?

  • Should I buy a franchise or a mom and pop pizzeria?

  • How can I learn more about the pizza business?

  • How can I get my pizza business questions answered for free?

I have put together all of my pizza business resources,
 tips and secret information for the first time.
   

Here's what John Arena of Pizza Metro in Las Vegas said:

 

"At last there is a comprehensive collection of resources that will guide aspiring pizzeria owners. Whether you are a beginner or a veteran this report will save you time and money. Finally all the answers are available in one easy to use collection"

This pizza is in a class all by itself.

The taste is incredilbe. The spices and suace add much to the flavor.

The follwoign video, gives yuo step by step instructions to create your own Sicilian style pizza

Making Pizza with Chef Michael Gerard of Wildwood Ovens
Nov 8th, 2009 by pizzatherapy

Chef Michael Gerard puts together a wonderful pizza in his test kitchen.

His Wildwood Pizza oven is the key. He shows how to form the dough and put on ingredients. Note also the unsual tool that he uese to turn the pizza.

The key to great pizza is to cook it quickly and completely. Chef Michael also gives you some hints on what to look for in the crust. You are looking for a brownish color in the crust.

Also of note is the pizza wheel that he uses to cut his pizza. It is an oversized wheel which makes cutting the pizza very easy.

Simply amazing pizza!

If you don’t own your own wood fired pizza oven, the next best thing is a pizza stone. I recommend this one right here:
