famouspizza: Amen brother!!! I started closing mondays a few months back after being open for about 3 months and was the best thing I ever did.made my Tuesdays busier and I actually get a day off and greatly look foward to it.IMO if you need a slow day open to make, you should rethink/change...

Re: looking for some opinions on my sauce recipe, good or ba full red extra heavy puree

Re: looking for some opinions on my sauce recipe, good or ba Man, I can’t believe all the things you guys go through to make your sauce. Full red sugar water. Much simpler and oh so good.Anyone ever try it?The big pizzeria in my area(about 25 miles away)that started this, I would say does about...

Re: anybody use Soreento brand cheese I’ve always used sorrento whole milk from my first pizzeria to my current one.Never really had a problem with it.I’m paying about 2.25 a lb these days. Derek

no comments here? Derek

I’m pretty sure when I get called back to work I’m going to sell my pizzeria and was wondering how to figure out a price or even how to go about doing it. I’ve only been open for 9 weeks and am averaging $8K a week.Had a high one week of $8,900 and shut the phone off for an hr during friday...

So far my Mondays average about $1K a week.Last week it was $700 and I was told i was slow as it is the first week back to school.I wouold love to find another good inside person and actually pay them well($12) or so and have faith that they could take over my spot.Even on $1K in sales I figure...

For me it is hard to find a good employee that can bake my pies as well as me and also trust with the register.I’ve actually been asking my regulars what they thought and most seem to think it’s ok.I won’t even make a decision until at least a few months into football season and think I should...

Was thinking after the football season about closing on Mondays to spend time with the wife and giving my main employee another day off.Everyone says to just hire more good employees,but we all know how easy that is. Just looking for input and would it hurt the other days sales if people make...

NicksPizza: Thats what we use and it works well. Derek

I actually closed and it was my first day off since I opened(July 13th)Spent the day with the wife and went on a mini 8hr vacation.Caller ID Showed 30 calls in the last 5hrs we would’ve been open.One customer actually left a message saying “good job you deserve a day off and enjoy it” 😃 made me...

I’ve been buying my dough now but was told today that dough costs about$.006 an ounce to make or less then a penny per ounce.I actually have the recipe to the T of the place that makes my dough as a buddy of mine worked there for 5yrs and knows by heart. If this is true I may really consider...

The place I buy my frozen dough balls said I could use it up to 6 mos as long as I keep it frozen.Now I’m having 2nd thoughts Derek

This post is by no means a post to brag or anything like that. I opened my doors Friday the 13th at 4pm with no advertising, hand outs,fliers or anything.I am in a little stip mall (4 stores) in a town of about 20K. I broke the 1,000 mark on the following Thursday and my first week of sales...

Health dept. came at around 11am were very suprised and very pleased and gave me the green light!!! I opened at around 4pm and got slammed(to me at least)Was not even really ready to open as I had no celery cut,no Bleu cheese made up, etc. Did about $400 in 4 hrs which I had only planned on...

She did it for more tips,plain and simple no other reason. A table of 4 gets the bill and noticed they saved X amount of dollars by not getting charged for drinks.There is a decent chance she will get more /better tips. Look no further, there is your answer Derek
