Listening to this podcast will help you understand why and how Anthony Guerra was so successful at Bella Mia, An, and with opening Crawford & Son. Remember when you were a kid and you went to the local pizza spot to grab a slice, a coca-cola and celebrate your little league game.

 When opening a "Pizza Joint" one must give major thought to  Which pizza oven? this is a hot button issue, do you go wood burning? Brick? Or dare I say electric deck like a Moretti Forni? What style of pizza? Neopolitan? Romano? Deep Dish? New York Style? Or maybe something new and different that I've never heard of?  What's the crust like? Is it cracker thin? Fluffy? Does it have a good chew?
