    Adam Weisell - Munno (Chicago)

    Chicago has a wealth of pizza styles - deep-pan, deep-dish, tavern and stuffed are the homegrown styles, but there's also Sicilian, Detroit and Neapolitan. When it comes to Roman pinsa, however, choices are more limited. Adam Weisell was born in Rome, so he brings a lot of experience and his own taste memories to the menu at Munno, an Italian restaurant with a dedicated pinsa program. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

    Matthew Grogan - Juliana's (Brooklyn) - from the archives

    Matthew Grogan loved the pizza from Grimaldi's (and later, Juliana's) so much, he quit his job in finance to help Patsy Grimaldi continue his vision. The New York native has seen Grimaldi through good and bad times, and feels the weight of carrying on that vision well into the 21st century. We discuss the complicated history of Grimaldi's and Juliana's, including the special challenges involved in running a coal-fired oven beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support

    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
