Why All Fast Casual Pizza Makers Should Attend Pizza Expo

For guys like us, it's all about the experience, the sights, the sounds, the excitement, the food and most importantly-the people. Where else do you get the chance to meet people from all over the world who share the same passion as you. In my years of attending I have made friends from every corner of earth involved in all aspects of the pizza industry. From the top dogs running multi-million dollar franchises to people from small towns in areas I have never heard of let alone find on a map. I have even met people from my home town and old neighborhood at the show. A chance to get away from the daily routine and stress with the ability to get an exterior view of your pizza and concept is valuable. Input from different people making a variety of pizza is fun and stimulating. Seeing the latest developments in the industry such as our Revolving Brick Ovens is priceless because it can prevent you from making costly mistakes due to lack of information and being in the dark because your head is buried int your business. Look for part 2 and why should compete in pizza contests and the incredible $$$ return on investment. Marc Cosentino
