Description
In this episode of PIE 2 PIE, we sit down with Alex White and Justin Ford, two of the owners of Yukon Pizza in Las Vegas. They share the incredible journey of Yukon Pizza - from cooking 40-50 pies a night in Alex's backyard during the pandemic, to getting their start the first ever Vegas test kitchen, to partnering with a developer to build out their current brick and mortar location.
We dive into the unique challenges and stressors of being a restaurant owner and entrepreneur. Justin opens up about his own personal struggles and how the pizza community helped him turn things around. Alex and Justin discuss the importance of leading with kindness, checking your ego, and being there for your staff.
Of course, we also talk pizza - from Yukon's 100+ year-old heirloom sourdough starter with a legendary origin story, to why they decided to sling killer smashburgers alongside their pies!
This episode is packed with laughter, tears, hard-earned wisdom and inspiration. Whether you're in the pizza biz or not, there are valuable lessons and insights in here for anyone on an entrepreneurial journey. https://www.instagram.com/yukonpizza/
