307. Catering to Customers | Special Pizza Expo Series

from The Hot Slice

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of The Hot Slice, we hear from Eric Sublett, co-owner of Firehouse Pizza in Kentucky. After his first pizzeria was damaged by a tornado, Eric and his wife used the opportunity to redefine their mission. They put their ideas into action at the Morgantown location and eventually replicated their vision in Bowling Green. The new menu included boozy shakes – a somewhat controversial choice in a town where serving alcohol was illegal until recently. Today, the couple is opening their third location in Franklin, Kentucky. Next up on the series recorded during Pizza Expo 2026, we welcome Ahmad Mujtaba, who operates three pizzerias in the San Francisco Bay Area. Fremont, California-based Pizza Hub touts itself as the only certified Halal pizzeria in the region. Mujtaba shares what is involved in becoming Zabiha Halal certified and shares the challenges of sourcing Halal ingredients on the West Coast. Becoming Halal is not just a diet choice, he says, but a way of life. Show Notes:  Learn more about Pizza Expo! Firehouse Pizza: firehousepizza.net Pizza Hub: onepizzahub.com
