John Yingling's story is a classic one-foot-in-front-of-other tale of entrepreneurship— how he started as a pizza delivery boy in high school in the 70's, made dough in high school, and decided to put a pin in Provincetown and opened up P'Town's first pizza shop on a shoestring. (This included bunking down in a graveyard for a rent-free bed.) His flagship Spiritus Pizza is still successful, as well as a string of other food ventures and owning much of the prime real estate in town.
