Get Your Profits in the Pie from Scott Anthony, Pizza Expert

pizzatherapy — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:05:49 +0000

Scott Anthony Pizza Consultant and Author of "Profits in the Pie".

Scott Anthony knows pizza. From his humble pizza shop in rural Pennsylvania he has built an empire.

Profits in the Pie
is based on his experiences at:

Fox’s Pizza Den
115 N Findley Street
Punxsutawney, PA 15767
814-938-4615
Fox’s Website

Scott’s Pizza Consulting Business Website

Now he is ready to tell all of his secrets. He has published a new book entitled: Profits in the Pie: Effective Marketing Tactics to Seize YOUR Slice of the $38.1 Billion Pizza Pie

This is an outstanding book for anyone who is in the pizza business. Or for anyone who is seriously considering the pizza business.

Anthony holds nothing back here. He reveals all of his secrets, and what has made him a success.

I personally know Scott and I can attest to his expertise in the business.

One of the best things about him, is that he and his pizzeria, give much back to the community.

That may be an inkling to his wildly successful restaurant.

He is able to go head to head with much larger chains. As a matter of fact the town he is located in: Punxsutawney, PA, which has a population of less than 10,000. Very small by anyone’s standards.

Yet, Scott has been able to grow his business exponentially.

Scott explains:

Profits in the Pie: Effective Marketing Tactics to Seize YOUR Slice of the $38.1 Billion Pizza Pie

“Turn YOUR Passion into Profits’, so you can always do the things you love.
The business tactics and strategies in this book flat out work – not only for
me, but for students and friends of mine. Inside this book you will find tactics

The Pizza Place Interview with Rosario Cacciatore

pizzatherapy — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:16:29 +0000

The Pizza Place, Westerly Rhode Island

Rosario Cacciatore knows pizza. He first started to make pizza while he was the dishwasher at the Recovery Room, in New London. FYI: the Recovery Room makes some of the best pizza in Southeastern Connecticut.

Now, Rosario has opened his own pizzeria in nearby, Westerly, Rhode Island. Known simply as the Pizza Place, he continues to make great pizza.

Now The Pizza place is making the best pizza in Rhode Island.

For me one of the most interesting things he states is about making pizza. He does explain that you need to use only the finest ingredients. You need very fresh high qulaity ingredients.

But then he goes on to explain that unless you have a love for pizza, it just does not turn out right.

Visit the Pizza Place and let us know what you think.

Frank Giovanni Explains Saladino’s Pizzeria Supplier Success

pizzatherapy — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 20:44:45 +0000

Frank Giovanni helps pizzerias by supplying them with the finast ingredients. Salandino’s has been in the business for over 50 years. They always put their customers first. You can visit them at;

The story of Saladino’s, Inc., is proof that great things can come from personal commitment, unwavering determination and old fashioned family values.

The story begins in Fresno, California, where Don Saladino worked in the meat department of his father’s grocery store. In 1944, Don combined his meat packaging experience with Old World family recipes from Italy’s Calabrese region, and launched Saladino Sausage Company – the business grew quickly and earned a widespread reputation for delicious, high-quality sausage products.

In 1980, Don’s son, Craig, joined his father in the family business. Together, they expanded their product offerings to include specialty sausage and linguica, which they sold to local pizzerias and restaurants. The company’s wide variety of raw and cooked sausage products attracted a loyal following among a growing number of retail and institutional customers.

pizzatherapy — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 12:43:45 +0000

In this interview with Roberto Caporuscio of Keste Pizzeria and Vino, he reveals his inspiration for making great pizza.

Roberto explains his original inspiration for pizza was his mentor. Now he is inspired by his cusomers.

From the Keste website here is some history of Roberto:

It was…in Napoli, the birthplace of pizza, that Roberto went to study the art and craft of this culinary delight with the most talented masters of the Neapolitan pizza makers. After training with the best, he opened two successful pizzerias in Pittsburgh, followed by A Mano in Ridgewood, NJ . Each endeavor brought critical acclaim from the culinary industry, as well as the rave reviews and articles in books and magazines.

While I discussed pizza with Roberto, he revealed to me his true inspiration for pizza:

My customers are my inspiration…I want to do better every day for them. Every morning when I wake up I want to do a better job for them.

He also talks about his new pizza school. You can learn the art of pizza making from Roberto and his world reknowned staff.

What I was most impressed when I did this interview was how friendly and happy, Roberto was. He allowed his customers to come right up to him while he was making pizza. He answered all of their questions. He took time for them. He shared all of his knowledge about pizza. And he did it with a smile on his face.

Roberto is truly an inspirational pizzaiolo. A great person, making great pizza. What a combination.

International School of Pizza School Adds Two New Ovens

pizzatherapy — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 23:22:40 +0000

This just in from our old friend, Tony Gemignani:

"The International School of Pizza has teamed up with Roto Flex and Wood Stone Ovens.

The school has expanded and now offers authentic Old World New York and New Haven certifications with its new Wood Stone Fire Deck 9660 Coal Fire oven.

Woodstone Oven

Rotoflex

The school now has the capability to teach students high production, gas, brick oven pizzas ranging from 6 to 22 inches. With this expansion, the two ovens are next door to the original location and shares the space with one of San Francisco's newest concepts, "Tony's Coal Fired Pizza and Slice House". Both of these ovens are monumental in the pizza industry.

"When an operator fires an oven for the first time, you are usually scared to think when the oven will be seasoned enough to get the perfect bake. By the time we cooked our third in both of these ovens, it was as if these ovens had been in my restaurant for 50 years."

That's how good our pizzas performed and all my partners and employees were blown away." ~ Tony Gemignani

The school now has a total of six ovens and certifies in every style.

How to Get Into the Pizza Business

pizzatherapy — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 03:17:04 +0000

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"
