    Joe DiMaggio of DiMaggio’s Pizza | Pizza Industry Convos

    Joe DiMaggio, owner of DiMaggio’s Pizza in Fairfield, Illinois, joins Michael Fox on Pizza Industry Convos. His father opened the shop in 1973, and Joe went from rinsing dishes standing on milk crates to running the place with his brother at 22. They get into cutting the steaks, the salad bar and the Sunday buffet after taking over, how rising cheese and labor costs feed into menu prices, and why the second store in Flora gets its dough, sauce and prep from a Fairfield commissary four times a week. Plus what sets a Midwest tavern thin crust apart from Chicago’s, how he reverse engineered the family dough, and competing at Pizza Expo, where DiMaggio’s placed fourth in tavern.
