CAFÉ Talks Ep. 96 – Is Pizza the Key to a Happy Life

CAFÉ Talks Ep. 96 – Is Pizza the Key to a Happy Life

Wednesday, 06 November 2024 09:10

Since those early days, in 1905, when Gennaro Lombardi opened the first American pizzeria in New York City, the United States has been in love with this seemingly simple menu item of crust, tomatoes, and cheese. Pizza has become the menu choice of everyday celebrations, a neighborhood attraction that brings people together, a family tradition, and a nourishing, delicious, versatile item for people on the go. It is nearly impossible to find a city, town, village, or hamlet in the United States that lacks at least one, if not many pizzerias to choose from. The pizzeria is an important entry-level business for budding entrepreneurs, and a perfect business for those who love to connect with people and put a smile on their face.

Join CAFÉ Talks podcast for a lively interview with Chef Lars Smith, a national and international pizza aficionado, competition winning pizzaiolo, and co-owner of State of Mind Public House and Pizzeria. His is a shop that stands out among the more than 7,000 pizzerias in California, a place worthy of a trip.
