    Pepperoni Brands

    We had tried Hormel once and noticed two differences… 1) it seemed very orange (like a pumpkin) and not red like most other pepperoni and 2) it produce a lot more oil on a cooked pizza than other pepperonis. I assume because the fat content was much higher.

    Pepperoni Brands

    We’re mostly a FSA customer, but we do get some Sysco products, however we typically use FSA branded pepperoni (Della Vita). Lately I am beginning to think Della Vita fired it’s QA manager and have let things fly to the wind. For example, their 6 slice/oz pepperoni varies between 11 slices and 5...

    .70 cents a box?

    My supplier has raised the price on boxes yet again, the 3rd time in less than a year and it’s now running .70 cents for 14" and 16" pizza boxes. What is everyone else paying? Where can I get these plain white boxes for cheaper and not have to buy 5000 boxes? Thanks!

    Help! Adjusting DPR3000 roller alignment

    That is just an operating manual with a parts diagram. I’m thinking I need a maintenance or shop manual. But thanks… I didn’t even have the manual you linked to, and at least I can see that the cams at the end of the roller do look like they come apart.

    Help! Adjusting DPR3000 roller alignment

    We’ve been using our DoughPro DPR3000 for over a year now and it has worked out very well for us. However recently, we had to move to a new location, and since the move, the rollers are slightly out of alignment. One side of the dough sheet comes out thicker than the other. I took off the side...

    Memorial Day

    We are normally closed Sunday’s and Monday’s and would probably be open regular hours if we we’re not.

    Dough Question for Tom

    To add to Tom’s reply I would like to say that I have had the same problem, although carefully monitoring the water temperature usually fixes the problem. At the same time, I have talked to our representative at the four mills and he tells me that there are also two other factors involved: The...

    Pizza Boxes

    Duh, I meant $31.86 for 50, not 100! That is .64 cents/box. Sorry for the typo…changed the first post to be correct.

    Pizza Boxes

    We have been using plain white boxes bought from FSA since we opened and they have been raising their prices and I think I’m at the tipping point ($31.86 for 50 14" or 16" boxes). Anyone have any suggestions where I can get them cheaper? Even if I have to buy a large quantity, I’ll be better...

    Comparing Ingredients

    I deal with this exact same problem on almost a monthly basis. The only difference is that they don’t even tell me they are switching (even after repeatedly telling them to give me a heads up). I also usually do not have a choice…they quit carrying the brand I had been using entirely in favor of...

    yelp sucks

    daisy: We have this exact same problem. In fact, the only reviews that show up are ones from the previous owners, which they will not remove. The old reviews are bland to negative (the old owners were idiots). All of the reviews since we bought the restaurant have been very good, but are...

    Cooking times vs temperature

    I have been playing around with my cooking times and temperatures lately. Normally we cook our pies at 500-525 for about 4-5 minutes on a screen and then 1 minute off the screen. This was how I was taught to cook them. The other day I cooked a pizza at about 450 for 5 minutes on the screen and...

    cheese prices

    Yep. cheese went up .12 cents this week. Now at $2.33/lb 😦 With as much as we all typically go through each week, I wonder what everyone does when it reaches a certain point. Just raise prices across the board, or is it a better idea to add on a temporary cheese surcharge until prices come back...

    Cheese Smugglers...

    Once we had a guy come in and try to sell us a big load of cheese because he bought it at Costco (or so he said) and tried to get it across the Canadian border (we are 30 miles from the border) and couldn’t so he turned around and tried to dump it off on us. As a firm policy, I would never buy...

    Why Having Your Pizzeria on Google Places is So Important

    I have had our place registered for well over a year and do occasional updates when our hours shift to on or off season. So why am I called daily, sometimes multiple times a day, by Google’s robo-dailers continuing to ask us to register our restaurant? It really is annoying! I have tried the...

    Bakers Pride vs Cecilware?

    Lorena… I didn’t really get any more info on the Cecilware ovens. I just went ahead and got two of the Baker’s Pride ovens and they have worked out really well for us.

    When is a specialty pizza no longer one?

    Daddio: I agree with the majority that this sounds like the best way to go. I also agree about not saying no, if it can be avoided. Here is an example of where I would draw the line… Say you offer a large Vegetarian pizza with extra cheese, mushrooms, onions, olives and bell peppers for...

    I'm tired of hearing about the bad job market...

    qcfmike: Hahah, now that’s funny 🙂 The problem, however is not. I’m at the point where I am about to just BAN all cell phones during working hours.

    When is a specialty pizza no longer one?

    I am just curious about how others handle changes to specialty pizzas. Our specialty pizzas are priced at a discount over a regular cheese pizza with the same number of toppings. So we typically get a lot of can I also add this or that? Usually I am OK with adding another topping or two (and of...

    I'm tired of hearing about the bad job market...

    The root cause of all of this is that we now live with an “Entitlement Culture”. People do not get themselves properly educated because they don’t need to… the government will take care of them. As a result, they are too stupid to realize what this is doing to society and the economy and...
