Pizza Talk: Will Grant and Sourdough Pizza
Will Grant burst on the culinary scene about 4 years ago when he started winning competitions with pizzas made on his 100% sourdough crust, whose starter was cultivated at his pizzeria, That’s a’ Some Pizza, on Bainbridge Island, Washington. The starter is a family legacy and Will is one of several pizza influencers, such as Anthony Mangieri, Dan Richer, Anthony Falco, and others whom we’ve featured here on Pizza Talk, converting others to the use of naturally leavened pizza dough. But Will’s been doing it for a longer time than many of the others even though he’s just now come to prominence, recently representing the USA at the World Pizza Championships. You’ll hear all about Will’s journey, tenacity, his sourdough starter, and, also, his plans for the future in this very special episode of Pizza Talk.
