After months of weighing his options, Scott eventually pulled together a business plan to start a pizza tour company. His first step was to find an actual pizza place that he could partner with and bring people to on his tour. He managed to convince the owners of Lombardi's, a classic New York City pizza joint. "You're going to have a better appreciation for what the place represents more than just selling a disk of dough sauce and cheese"
Long before Scott Wiener was the founder of a popular pizza tour company, he was just a guy who really loved to eat pizza. He talks with Maya about how he turned his unabashed enthusiasm into a mini empire. P.S. Stick around for a fun trivia game at the end, featuring the one and only Jimmy Li.
