Pizza Quest Season Three, Episode 7: Eidref Laxa Searches for “What’s Good Dough?”

Three years ago, Eidref Laxa started a podcast in San Jose, California as a way to learn everything he could about pizza so that, maybe, one day he could open his own pizzeria. Over 150 episodes later, What’s Good Dough has become a goldmine of pizza knowledge, culled from the giants in the industry who have generously shared their knowledge with Eidref, who then shares it with his listeners. In this episode of Pizza Quest, Eidref describes his journey of self-discovery with us, including some of the highlight moments of his many interviews with pizza luminaries (and Pizza Quest regulars) like Tony Gemignani, John Arena, Dan Richer, Will Grant, Chris Bianco, Brian Spangler, and many others, while he continues his own never-ending quest for the perfect pizza and perfect pizzeria. Consider the golden nuggets of pizza wisdom provided by Eidref in this episode as a gateway into hundreds of hours of found on his What’s Good Dough podcast.

Pizza Quest is a site dedicated to the exploration of artisanship in all forms, wherever we find it, but especially through the literal and metaphorical image of pizza. As we share our own quest for the perfect pizza we invite all of you to join us and share your journeys too. We have discovered that you never know what engaging roads and side paths will reveal themselves on this quest, but we do know that there are many kindred spirits out there, passionate artisans, doing all sorts of amazing things. These are the stories we want to discover, and we invite you to jump on the proverbial bus and join us on this, our never ending pizza quest.
