Conversation

Hamilton Lewis co-owns
2 Guys Pizza with James
Breier, who came on board
a year after the pizzeria
opened in 2015.

HAMILTON LEWIS
2 GUYS PIES
YUCCA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

HERE AT 2 GUYS PIES WE LIVE BY A PLAN,
THE P.I.E. PLAN. We have "P"assion for the job

we perform, "I"ntegrity to do the job to our full
potential and we bring "E"nthusiasm with us
every single day. By instilling this plan in our
team from day one of the interview process,
we have been able to create a unique culture
that is seen by every guest that walks through
the door looking for a delicious 'za. 2GP is
located at the doorstep of Joshua Tree National
Park and is isolated from most major cities. It is
crucial for a small business in this area to gain
the community's acceptance to be successful.
OUR CULTURE IS WHAT SEPARATES US
FROM THE COMPETITION AND HAS CATAPULTED OUR DREAMS INTO REALITY. One of

the creative ways we have grown our brand
that shows the traits from the P.I.E. plan is the
development of our storybook PIE GUY I - The
1 6 / P I Z Z AT O D AY. C O M / S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 8

Zaadessy, to premier at this year's
Palm Springs Comic Con. It's a great
feeling when your whole team understands what you stand for as a company. We encourage our team to get
involved in the community as much as
they can. We are the community and
understand the importance of continually working to make it stronger. We
are very fortunate to be in a position
that can really make a difference for
generations to come. That's why we
took our passion to the next level and
created the Too Sweet Foundation
(www.toosweetfoundation.com).
AS A SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS,
WE COUNT ON THE MILLIONS OF
VISITORS THAT COME TO THE NATIONAL PARKS EVERY YEAR.

The Too Sweet Foundation was created by me and the other Guy, James
Breier. We believe the National Parks
and protected lands are too beautiful
and too critical to maintaining the
expanse eco-system that the people
and wildlife call home. If funding continues to be cut to our National Parks,

we would see a rapid decline in
business for everyone in our town.
It is also our job and our duty as the
keepers or our nurturing planet to
do everything within our power and
means to preserve the parks so that
generations of the future may enjoy
them as much as we have.
As business owners and National
Park enthusiasts, we have come up
with our way to pitch in and make
a difference the way we know we
can. Our first campaign, Desserts
for the Parks, donates 10 percent
of all of our dessert sales from 2GP
as well as our sister store, Mojave
Moon Café in 29 Palms, California,
to the foundation. Why desserts?
'Cause they are just Too Sweet! We
are currently partnered with the Mojave Desert Land Trust with future
plans to partner up with Joshua Tree
National Park Association for our
next campaign: Arts for the Parks.
It's a fun job to be a part of such a
great community.
