In this episode, we sit down with fellow Ohio Restaurant Association member and owner of, Master Pizza, Michael P. LeMarca. We talk about how his company navigated COVID through supply chain disruptions, price increases and staff stresses. Michael tells about his ‘100 store mentality’ and how they ensure that every pizza goes out with the same standards, every time.
Some episode highlights:
- Michael shares that pizza dough felt like his creative canvas from the time he was a young boy!
