    Pizza Leftovers: The Season Finale Special

    It’s the Season 1 finale of The Pizza Party Podcast — and instead of focusing on one giant topic, Grant and Drey are serving up a full buffet of pizza randomness. From strange pizza products and weird food debates to nostalgic memories and internet discoveries, this episode is packed with rapid-fire mini topics that didn’t quite deserve their own full episode… but were too good not to talk about. Along the way, the guys reflect on the first season of the podcast, thank listeners for the support, and tease some exciting upgrades that could be coming in Season 2. Plus… YOU get to help decide the topic for the Season 2 premiere. No politics. No problems. Just pizza.

    Would You Eat Pizza Cooked on a Volcano?

    This week on the Pizza Party Podcast, we’re taking pizza to a whole new level—literally. We’re exploring three of the most unique pizza experiences we could find, from a high-energy Evel Knievel–themed pizzeria in Las Vegas, to a massive live organ concert that serves pizza on the side, all the way to a volcano in Guatemala where your pizza is cooked using real lava. Along the way, we play a few guessing games, break down what makes these places so memorable, and ask a bigger question: 👉 Is great pizza enough anymore… or does every place need an experience to stand out? Whether you’re here for the food, the stories, or just the idea of eating pizza next to molten lava… this episode has something for you.

    Carved in Stone: The Mount Rushmore of Pizza

    This week on The Pizza Party Podcast, we’re carving our Mount Rushmore of Pizza. Four spots. No repeats. No second chances. Just the most culturally iconic pizza moments, products, and legends that shaped the game forever. Some picks are obvious. Others? Let’s just say… they might spark a little debate. And as if that wasn’t enough, we also break down a viral pizza video that’s been making the rounds online. Is it genius? Is it outrageous? Or is it a full-blown pizza violation? We give our honest take. Grab a slice and get ready — this one’s carved in stone.

    Let's Hear From My Students!

    What happens when the live studio audience takes over the mic? After having my students sit in during our pepperoni deep dive, we decided it was only right to bring them back — this time not just as spectators, but as guests. In this special follow-up episode of the Pizza Party Podcast, we sit down with the students to talk about their experience being part of a live recording, what they really think about pizza culture, and why pizza might just be the greatest unifier in human history. But that’s not all. We also shine a spotlight on their very own student-led podcast, “Los Tóxicos.” We talk about how it started, what inspired the name, what they’ve learned from producing it, and what it’s like building a show from scratch. It’s a fun, honest, slightly chaotic (in the best way) conversation about creativity, school, microphones, and of course… a lot of pizza takes. This one’s about passing the mic to the next generation of podcasters — and finding out that they might just be better at this than we are. Grab a slice and enjoy. 🍕🎙️

    Let’s Talk About Pepperoni

    Is pepperoni really just a “basic” pizza topping — or is it doing way more work than we give it credit for? In this episode of The Pizza Party Podcast, Grant and Drey take a deep dive into the world of pepperoni, breaking down the many different styles it can take and how those differences can completely make or break a pizza. From classic flat slices to cup-and-char, ribbons, thick-cut, and everything in between, we explore why pepperoni isn’t just pepperoni anymore. Grab a slice and join us as we look at pizza’s most popular topping in a whole new way.

    Mall Pizza: Big Slices and Big Nostalgia

    This week on the Pizza Party Podcast, Grant and Drey lean hard into nostalgia and head straight to the mall—specifically, the food court. From oversized slices and plastic trays to echoey seating and questionable life choices, mall pizza was never about being the best… it was about being there when you needed it most. The guys break down why pizza and malls became inseparable, revisit classic food court lineups, and even tackle a controversial question: could Costco pizza count as mall pizza? To wrap things up, Grant and Drey put together a Pizza Gift Giving Guide. Whether you’re planning next year's Christmas gifts, shopping for a birthday, Father’s Day, or just looking for an excuse to give someone pizza-themed joy, they’ve got you covered. So grab a slice, find a plastic chair, and enjoy the nostalgiawhile listening to the Pizza Party Podcast.

    The Blue Inferno Story

    What happens when a group of students decide they’re not just going to learn about entrepreneurship—but actually live it? In this episode, Grant shares the unforgettable story of helping students open a real pizzeria from scratch—Blue Inferno—in a small town with almost no food options. From big ideas to real-world pressure, it’s a reminder of what can happen when you trust young people with something real. Then, Drey and Grant wrap things up by hitting the road—at least mentally—sharing some of their favorite vacation pizza memories. From unexpected slices in unfamiliar places to pizza becoming part of the trip itself, it’s a nostalgic, feel-good finish that proves pizza always finds a way into the best moments. Real stories. Real pizza. Real memories.
