In this episode of Pie 2 Pie, we sit down with Michael Fiorelli and Liz Gutierrez of Fiorelli Pizza, a wood-fired pizza venture based in a community garden in Venice, Los Angeles. Mike and Liz share their unique journey from working in fine dining to nearly opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant of their own to deciding to pursue a mobile pizza concept in an intimate, outdoor setting. They discuss the challenges and rewards of leaving their day jobs, the importance of staying true to their vision, and the power of storytelling in the food industry.

The conversation also touches on the changing landscape of kitchen culture, the value of respect and patience in the workplace, and Mike's memorable appearance on the TV show Entourage. Join Alex as he delves into the magic of Fiorelli's secret garden pizza experience. https://www.instagram.com/fiorellipizza/
