Although I'm
typically a redsauce kinda gal, I
loved the spinach
artichoke sauce
we created in the
test kitchen. Start
small with these
flavors and let your
customers get used
to stepping outside
their comfort zones.

Like many midsized metropolitan
cities, Birmingham
has become a
foodie city. Slice
Pizza and Brewhouse and Post
Office Pies have
found their own
unique ways to
curve their places
in the competitive
market.

Spacca Napoli
founder Jonathan
Goldsmith is one
of the industry's
more interesting
personalities. I
don't know if I've
ever met a more
passionate pizza
maker. His love of
Italy and pizza is
contagious.

Adding baked pasta to
your menu can usually
be done without even
bringing in new
ingredients and creates new possibilities
in the catering world!
