In this episode of The Pizza King Podcast, I break down what it’s really like to sell your pizza shop after 23 years in the business. From running seven Westshore Pizza locations to navigating the emotional ups and downs of exiting the business, I share the behind-the-scenes story of my final days as a restaurant owner.

Whether you're thinking about selling your pizzeria, planning your exit strategy, or just curious about what life looks like after ownership—this one's for you. I also talk about what's next: my focus on coaching pizza operators, building community, and (yes) still making pies—just at home now.

What you'll learn:

  • How we decided to sell our pizza shop
  • What the sales process actually looked like
  • Life after owning a pizzeria
  • Why I’m not rushing back into ownership
  • What's next for the Pizza King Podcast and beyond
