Here We Go
M
arch 2019. I sat for a few
slow and calm moments
with speaker Scott Sandler,
who owns and operates Pizza Head in St.
Louis. Scott often tackles vegan topics
at International Pizza Expo. I ran into
him in a hall outside a conference room
as he was charging his cell phone and I
was getting ready to call home and say
hello to my sons. We caught up for a few
brief moments, gave one another a hug,
and then it was time for me to head into
a conference room to introduce speakers
and lead a panel discussion.
Later I ran into friend Doug Ferriman,
a Boston-area pizzeria owner. Another
hug. Th en there were handshakes and
high-fi ves from Melissa Rickman from
Colorado, Tony Gemignani from California,
Th eo Kalogeracos from Australia and
hundreds more from around the world.
Th e great social gathering that is Pizza
Expo was underway.
Little did we know how much the
world would change in a mere 12 months.
Had we known, we'd have been terrifi ed.
Now, after an exhausting and often
harrowing stretch, here we are. We waded
through to the light.
Later this month when International
Pizza Expo 2021 kicks off in Las
Vegas, we will have reached a signifi cant
milestone. It will be the fi rst major pizza
gathering since 2019. What a spectacular
event it's going to be!
Th e show's importance to the pizza
industry cannot be overstated. In the
words of the Grateful Dead, what a long,
strange trip it's been. But now we're here;
we're ready to rock. Th e show, fi nally, will
go on.
Best,

Creating a new dough recipe
can be daunting. Knowing where
to start in terms of picking the
right flour can be confusing.
Understanding
refinement and strength of
protein are two fundamentals that
will make any new dough recipe
easier.

(Frozen Pizza, pp. 50)
More and more independent
pizzerias are getting into the frozen
pizza game to ship to their fans
nationwide, especially during the
pandemic. I set out to find out
what's involved and what pizzeria
operators have experienced
launching a frozen product.
