This week on The Hot Slice Podcast, we chat with Frank Zabski of New Haven, Connecticut. After a corporate career wore him thin, Frank got into the pizza business with a mobile unit he named "Fired Up Pizza Truck". With the catering business, Frank aimed to "bring the party to you, not just the pizza." The truck catered parties and events for 50-125 people and specialized in New Haven-style pizza.

Frank has since gone on to launch New Haven Pizza School (thepizzagavones.com/new-haven-pizza-school/). The school teaches home cooks/pizza enthusiasts how to make the iconic pizza style that remains a hidden secret from many consumers nationwide.
