Feeding Inmates & Dave Portnoy

This week on Talk About It with Franjez, host Franjez sits down with John Gristina, owner of Pizza Fenice in Pelham, New York. John opens up about growing up in the Bronx, losing both parents young, chasing a premed degree for over a decade, and the strange twist of fate that led him back into the pizza business his family started decades ago. From working in a county jail kitchen to getting reviewed by Dave Portnoy, John shares raw stories about business partnerships that failed, lessons on standing up for yourself, and why he believes good food gives people a moment of peace in a chaotic world. A real, honest conversation about family, food, and second chances. #PizzaFenice #TalkAboutItWithFranjez #BronxToPelham Contact: Instagram: www.Instagram.com/Franjez Email: [email protected]
