Welcome back to Pizza Quest!

Pizza and bagels in the Mississippi Delta might have once been considered a non sequitur, but Marisol and Rory Doyle have put the small town of Cleveland, Mississippi on the global pizza map, thanks to a recent NY Times article featuring their destination wood-fired pizzas. What started as a once-a-week bagel cart has grown into a local treasure and destination pizza cafe. Hear all about the Doyles, about Lena Pizza and Bagels, about Rory’s award-winning photography and also about Marisol’s culinary journey from Mexico to Mississippi, in this week’s episode of Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart.
