Tony Gemignani on the SF Pizza, Beer, and Bagel Festival and Much More!
Welcome back to Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart.
In this episode, we catch up with the biggest rock star in the pizza universe, multi-time world pizza champion Tony Gemignani, owner of Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in SF, Pizza Rock in Las Vegas, and many other restaurants, bakeries, pizza schools, and even a new bagel shop, Dago’s Bagels. In today’s episode, he also tells us about his biggest project ever, the launch of dozens of Slice House by Tony Gemignani franchises across the country. But, the main focus of today’s conversation is to tell everyone about the upcoming San Francisco Pizza, Beer, and Bagel Festival, on August 19th in North Beach, the “Little Italy” of San Francisco. There are only a few tickets left for this day-long blow-out, so if you are planning to attend or want more details, here’s the link to the landing page: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sf-pizza-bagel-and-beer-festival-tickets-643914444437
