Pete Tolman, owner of Iron Born Pizza, first encountered Detroit-style pizza on a trip to Colorado. In this episode, he recounts his surprising reaction after discovering it in such an unlikely place and how he instantly knew that he had to bring it to Pittsburgh. Pete’s journey from Smallman Galley to Millvale and now back to the Strip District in his very own full-scale restaurant is an inspiring story rich with details and kernels of wisdom. His example of having a plan B is both humorous and insightful, as newly budding entrepreneurs can almost always benefit from having a back-up plan. Pete’s acknowledgement that he isn’t exactly sure what makes his restaurants so popular is transparent and refreshing. But one thing is for sure, there is a constant buzz that’s impossible to miss when you walk into his locations. If you haven’t tried Detroit-style pizza yet, this episode will have your mouth watering and you heading for your car to go grab some for yourself.
