I have been using corn flour or corn “masa” for a while now. I like that it has almost the consistency of wheat flour, but it works like corn meal. It will not be as gritty and does not burn, or stay on the pizza like flour. Remember it is much finer than corn meal, but still works like it. It...

yes great point Mike!

I purchased one on Ebay! Very good work and extremely reasonable. Very professional and shipped securely. Just search custom neon signs.

It seems like everyday another person gets on here with a huge question like " How much did it cost to start your first year?" “How much profit did you make?” “How much capital did you need to start?” “How much do you pay yourself?” The fact of the matter is that it is nearly impossible to make...

We have decks and I rarely use screens…except on two occasions. Time orders to save time, we stretch em ahead of time a little bit, so that in the middle of a dinner rush we are that much more efficient. Especially if say you have an order for 10 pies at once. The second reason is when I think...

George, It’s a Blodgett 1048. Thank you for all of your help. Actually a very easy fix. I would have not thought about checking that side panel on my ovens. Sure enough, two broken springs. $25 a piece and $50 for next day ship. $100 not too bad for a simple easy fix. Could have been worse...

I have two deck, Blodgett ovens. The bottom door is now acting up. It is very heavy and opens very hard slamming down. The top one is fine. This is a new problem, both doors used to open with ease. I checked the hinges and all look fine, comparing top to the bottom. Anyone ever have this kind of...

If you don’t go all in bro, you might have to fold. Pizza is a horrible investment right now. Gas and food prices are at an all time high, which means you get hit on both ends…your costs and your sales due to an increase in expendable cash with your customer base. Pizza seems easy, but could not...

Of your two options, poker is less risky!

That ad is hilarious! Much more clever way of doing it rather than using actual picture of his car. That could possibly blow up in your face. I doubt the two new workers would be working on the “inside”. They probably would not have been so forthcoming with the spying info in the first place. It...

Today the weather was gorgeous, people flocked to the parades and bars. We were beyond dead. Is this normal? Or just us? What do you notice normally about St. Patrick’s Day sales?

Just curious to see how everyone did. Where you slammed, dead, busy all day, just the game, or just before? Better than last year, worse, normal?

How much capital do you have? Everything sounds great, but with that rent…it could take some time. How much experience do you have making pizzas? Your competition sounds good as you will not necessarily be directly competing if you go gourmet. Have you done a cost analysis? Walmart can drive in...

Makes perfect sense and perfect dough. I tend to not overmix my dough to get the perfect balance of crunch and chew. The point of my post and process is that the original poster was probably killing his yeast with salt that was not dissolved. Or as the dough doctor explained, the yeast was not...

Only you know in your heart what the heck to do. Clearly the consensus is don’t do it. It takes passion and a fulltime devotion. I am a newbie in the business and walked away from a near six figure salary because I hated my job. I worked a ton of hours in that job too, but at least I had a...

had the same problem. We had to mix our yeast with warm water to activate it, then put it in the mixer before the flour. This is only after mixing the salt, oil, water, and other ingredients for 4 minutes first. If you put the yeast in too soon, the salt will kill it and prevent your dough from...

K vets, can use your help! Any experiences with Valpak or JB Dollar would be greatly appreciated. Pros, Cons, Don’t do at all?? Do this instead. Any insight would be so helpful. Please support all local business, especially independent Pizza Shops!

Just curious. I know January typically starts slow. Was curious to poll.

had a similar yelp experience! pissed me off too. We go to such great lengths to provide a quality product, but still need to stay competitive with all of the crappy chains. The guy that fried me was an east coast transplant and said our New York style was nothing close to NYC. His expectations...

Anyone familiar with this concept? Getting a loan for some capital is near impossible right now. Looking to explore a merchant cash advance. Not the most economical way to get money, but running out of options. Credit cards are maxed and can’t hit anyone else up. We are breaking even after being...
