That Entrepreneur Show #401: Becoming Top 10 in America with Mike Bausch
In this episode of That Entrepreneur Show, we sit down with Mike Bausch, the owner of Andolini’s Pizzeria, which has been named one of the "Top 10 Pizzerias in America" by TripAdvisor, CNN, Buzzfeed, and USA Today. With Andolini’s also being recognized as Tulsa’s “most recommended restaurant” by Business.org, Mike has solidified himself as a culinary leader in one of the most food-obsessed cities in the U.S.
Mike’s entrepreneurial journey is as impressive as his pizza-making skills. A Certified Master Pizzaiolo, instructor, and two-time Amazon #1 best-selling author of Unsliced: How to Stay Whole in the Pizzeria Industry and The Pursuit of Pizza, Mike shares his recipe for success both in the kitchen and in business. In 2023, he was named Oklahoma Small Business Person of the Year, earning an invitation to the White House to meet the President.
Join us as Mike reveals how he grew Andolini’s from a single pizzeria in 2005 to five pizzerias, two food halls, a food truck, and a fine dining restaurant. He’ll also talk about his journey to becoming a Two-Time Guinness World Record holder, President of the World Pizza Champions, and contributor to Pizza Today.
Whether you’re in the restaurant industry or an aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is packed with insights on perseverance, innovation, and what it takes to be recognized on a national level.
