171. New Haven-style Pizza

Send us Fan MailThis week on The Hot Slice Podcast, we chat with Frank Zabski of New Haven, Connecticut. After a corporate career wore him thin, Frank got into the pizza business with a mobile unit he named "Fired Up Pizza Truck". With the catering business, Frank aimed to "bring the party to you, not just the pizza." The truck catered parties and events for 50-125 people and specialized in New Haven-style pizza.  Show Notes:Don’t forget October is National Pizza Month.
