Pizza Today - July 2024 - 3
Commentary with Jeremy White
On the Rise
T
here are a lot of really exciting things happening
in the back half of 2024 here at Pizza
Today. First, beginning on page 34 of this
issue, you'll find our newest list of " Rising Stars in the Pizza
Industry. " These are up-and-coming pizzeria owners who
are making a name for themselves in their respective markets
in a big way. It's always nice to see all the grit and grind, the
blood, sweat and tears pay off. Congrats to our latest batch
of Rising Stars!
As they say in the infomercials, " But wait - there's more! "
We'll be naming a Pizzeria of the Year, launching the
second annual PIE Awards and producing an exclusive new
event - PizzaCon - before this year comes to a close.
Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, it's what we do!
We made a lot of changes to the second iteration of the
PIE Awards, which will result in a much better experience
for all involved. First, we drastically lowered the entry fees.
We also condensed the number of categories and tightened
the timeline. We look forward to announcing the winners of
the 2024 PIE Awards at PizzaCon in November.
Speaking of PizzaCon, you'll not want to miss this experiential
one-day event at Th e Fillmore in Philadelphia. We're
putting together a dozen sponsored activation stations, some
seminars as well as other exclusive opportunities. PizzaCon
will be unlike any " show " you've ever attended. Mark your
calendars for November 7 and head on over to Pizzacon.com
now to register to attend and to learn more about the event.
We'll close the year out with our Industry Report, which
will detail exactly what is happening right now in our great
industry. Th e information it provides you, dear reader, will
help guide your decision-making throughout 2025.
Together, these all serve as tools to either celebrate our
industry or to help you grow your place within it. As always,
that's our mandate and we are honored to serve you by helping
you run your pizza business more effi ciently and more
profi tably. It's why we get out of bed and punch the clock.
Th ank you for putting your trust in us and know that we
fi ght every day on behalf of independent pizzeria owners
coast to coast!
Best,
Jeremy White
