    Vincenzo Onnembo - nNea (Amsterdam)

    Vincenzo Onnembo was a film student in Rotterdam, but in 2018 wound up in Amsterdam with a business partner, making Neapolitan-inspired pizzas at nNea. He has since opened a carryout operation next door, since getting a reservation at the restaurant could take months. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

    David Peña - Fortunate Son (Garland, TX)

    David Peña fell hard for New Haven style apizza, so after a deep research trip - where he spent time in some famous kitchens like Frank Pepe's - he returned to Texas with new vigor and the idea to replicate the traditional apizza (ah-BEETS) in the Lone Star state, about 30 minutes outside Dallas at Fortunate Son (yes, named for the Creedence Clearwater Revival song). --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

    Rony Stark - PennePazze (Nashville)

    Rony Stark grew up in Italy, with an appreciation for homemade pasta and pizza. But when he moved to Nashville several years ago, he saw an opportunity to create something no one had done before: Roman pinsas. At PennePazze he offers both handmade pasta and these light and airy pizzas, and is expanding the business. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

    Novel Pizza Cafe (Chicago)

    A pair of Filipino cousins joined forces with their Mexican friend to open a unique pizzeria in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago. Novel Pizza Cafe combines both of the partners' cultures, but also thinks of itself as and all-day cafe. We took a closer look at how they make both a Chicago thin pie as well as a deep-pan. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

    L'industrie Pizza (NYC) From the Archives

    We revisit L'industrie in NYC this week, after they came in 80th in the world from the 50 Top Pizza organization. We are revisiting this classic because they now have a second location in the West Village, but we spoke with owner Massimo Laviglia way back in 2020, when he was still finding his footing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

    Ryan Pollnow - Flour + Water Pizzeria (San Francisco)

    Four years ago, we had Thomas McNaughton on the show, talking about his new concept, Flour + Water Pizzeria in the Mission District in San Francisco. Since the pandemic, he and his co-Chef/Culinary Director, Ryan Pollnow, moved and expanded the operation, tweaking the recipe, and deciding to set up a commissary in the new store that will ultimately support additional stores. Meanwhile, they operate a sit-down pizzeria in front and a slice shop in the back. That’s where I met Pollnow, to talk about the evolution of their pizzeria, and how they nailed one of the best gluten free slices I’ve ever had. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support
