223. Mashing Up Two Beloved Pizza Styles

September 12, 2024 • Pizza Today • Episode 223

This week on The Hot Slice Podcast, Josh and Denise chat with Ryan Ososky, owner of DTown Pizzeria in Hollywood, California. He caught our attention on Instagram for marrying two great pizza styles into one: Detroit and Tavern. We get into how and why, as well as what the response has been.

We dive into the challenges of the fickle Los Angeles market and how DTown grabs attention. Ryan is always floating new ideas out, including creating a dog-friendly pizza.

Ryan has competed well at the International Pizza Challenge at Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. Find out what has worked well for him and how he’s capitalized on the wins in his shop.

Ryan details how he plans to grow DTown
