John Rea—Via Farina

from Restaurant Hoppen · host Hurrdat Media

John Rea had limited experience with pizza and pasta when he took over the Via Farina kitchen nearly a decade ago. The move was a game changer for both parties: Via reignited John's passion for cooking, and John's leadership and desire for knowledge (especially about pizza) have taken Via Farina to another level with a second location. We discuss that transition for both he and the restaurant, the art of pizza making and how the 2022 Pizza Expo in Las Veags changed his life, and more! 🔗 Check out: 🍕 Via Farina: https://www.viafarina.com This episode was sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Sully's Gastroburgers⁠⁠⁠⁠.
