    How Many of you work at your store fulltime.

    To work 80+ hours a week in a pizza place is kind of silly unless you really love the work. There are so many better ways to spend your time that is better for your business than that. You have the exact kind of restaurants I look for when I am looking for an acquisition. Some hard working guy...

    Cooking at home

    You can make a very good pizza at home, but it will not be the same. But you should be able to get an idea if you are close.

    Does anyone use Labatt

    royster13: The beer is almost certainly better, but no, they are a supplier here in Texas and in Oklahoma.

    Drive Thru for Pizza

    Patriot'sPizza: I used to drive by Rocky’s on occasion (I am from IL, and it seemed like I would have to drive up to Cheese Head Land once a month or so). Don’t they offer a drive-in service? For some reason I never stopped though.

    Need expert advice: What would you pay for this pizzeria?

    Re: Need expert advice: What would you pay for this pizzeria 5280Pizza: J_Rokk pretty much nailed it. It did look like he subtracted out the owner’s salary in his analysis which I do not think you should do. Afterall, the owners salary is your salary and you should be paying based of a multiple...

    Please help, I am in the process of buying a pizza place

    top 5: I really never said what my top 5 is, and part of that reason is because my top 5 is more like my top 1 and then everything else. Papa Del’s pizza in Champaign, IL is easily the best pizza on earth. And it is the best by a very wide margin. I spend the roughly $100 they charge to mail...

    I need Clip Art

    j_r0kk: I possibly have a disc at home that probably has what you need. It is a disc that is a collection of clip art. I am in Chicago for the next 7 days, but if you still want it when I get back drop me a line and I see if I still have it.

    Please help, I am in the process of buying a pizza place

    MM: I didn’t say they prefer the taste, I said they prefer to go there, and to be honest, some probably do prefer the taste. Judging by the numbers, it is obvious the masses prefer to go to chains.

    Please help, I am in the process of buying a pizza place

    top 5: 9 times out of 10 that I go out to eat it is not at a chain, for the most part, I do not like them either. Reality is what it is though, most people perfer chains.

    Please help, I am in the process of buying a pizza place

    top 5: I like Aurelio’s, but it is not my favorite. But reality is what it is, I cannot find any ranking that does not have it in the top 5. Not a single one. So while you may not love it, people in Chicago do. And it is not debatable. I think your letting your personal tastes get in the way...

    Owner Operator vs Owner Investor

    Perry: That all depends on the owner. My stores are not going to do a whole lot more business, if any, if I spend all day there. However, if you take away my marketing intitiatives, some of which I would not have had time to implement if I worked 70 hours, and none of my places would have ever...

    Owner Operator vs Owner Investor

    pie2: I cringe at the thought of working 70 hours a week. I am rather displeased that I work close to 40 right now. Owner investor is so the way to go for me. At the end of the day, the question comes down to what you want to do with your life and what you are good at. Some people simply...

    Please help, I am in the process of buying a pizza place

    top 5 vote: I cannot even debate with you when you say that Aurelio’s does not make it in most people’s top 5. Show me a top 5 list that does not have it, and I will show you 3 that does. Your credibility went out the window with that statement. It may not be in your top 5, but to argue it is...

    Anyone else worried about going out of business soon?

    RaymiR: I’m not so sure good food is much of a factor. Afterall, probably everyone here in a town of at least 15,000 has to compete against a Papa John’s, Domino’s, and Pizza Hut and I doubt any of them will be winning a taste test anytime soon. And they all on average, are probably winning the...

    Please help, I am in the process of buying a pizza place

    Anonymous: Well, Aurelios, at least two Nancy’s, at least one Giordanos. I’ve heard rumors about some of the other bigger known places, but I cannot confirm them, so I will not post their names. Anyway, those 3 are going to be on most top 5’s.

    Looking for a movie called Drivers Wanted!

    pizza master6000: What someone does with my food once they pay me for it is up to them. If they want to sell it to a friend, more power to them. If they want to give it away, what is wrong with that. This person purchased this movie, does not want it anymore, and is offering to give it away. I...
