Description

In this episode, we sit down with Mike from Pizzeria Lucci in Belmar, NJ, to explore how he launched a wildly successful pizza business with a bold and unconventional approach. Mike shares the story of walking away from a traditional pizza shop to start something smaller, smarter, and completely unique. He dives into menu design, dough obsession, build-out delays, managing seasonal demand, and how one viral Instagram moment (hello, Portnoy!) brought in a wave of new fans. If you're thinking about opening a pizzeria — or just want to learn how to run a lean, focused food business — this one's a must-watch.
