In this episode of the Pizza King Podcast, I’m recapping my trip to Pizza Expo in Las Vegas and sharing what really stood out to me. Yes, there was plenty of new equipment, pizza tech, AI, and tools worth checking out. I talk about what caught my attention with Thrive POS, Wook AI, Pizza Cloud, and more. But the biggest takeaway had nothing to do with booths or product demos. The real value of Pizza Expo was the people. The conversations. The handshakes. The relationships. That’s what sticks with you. That’s what pushes this industry forward. I also share why the competition floor means so much to me, what it’s like getting around people who take the craft seriously, and why events like this can raise your standard as an operator and leader. If you own, operate, or manage a pizzeria, this episode will remind you that growth is not only about tools and tactics. It is also about community, connection, and getting around the right people. Get 3 Months Free With ThrivePOSPizza Driven Point of Sale. Schedule your free demo today!
