REWIND | Miguel and Dario Ventura on Life Imitating Art

If you’re a climber and you haven’t been to Miguel’s Pizza, you probably want to go, or you’ve at least seen a dozen people wearing their t-shirts. Forty years ago, Miguel Ventura moved from Connecticut to Slade, Kentucky and started what was then known as The Rainbow Door, a pizza and ice cream shop that has since become an icon to climbers all over the world. REWIND with us to this classic episode with the man himself, Miguel Ventura, and a special appearance by his son Dario, about art, pizza, climbing, and community.

And to everyone over there off Exit 33, congrats on 40 years!
