Independent Pizzerias have stiff competition from chain/macro-pizzerias that have the deep pockets to ride out the Corona Virus. However more than a handful of independent pizzerias are looking at their accounts and wondering if they can keep the doors open in 2021.

Mom and Pop Pizza shops that serve what I call Columbus Style pizza are an endangered species of business. Reason 3: The most important reason has nothing to do with me.

Blog traffic in general had nosed dived over the last five years, even for really good blogs that post multiple times per week. Reading beyond the first few sentences seems like a forgotten skill nowadays.

I won’t make a lot of dough no matter how many books are sold but please consider sharing this link and let’s hope the book sells like Preston’s Burgers. I’d also ask you to share this post on Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, etc. If you want more money going to a non mega corporation you can order directly from the publisher History Press / Arcadia Publishing. If you don’t have a book – they should start to appear in large bookstores – like Barnes and Noble this week. I’m told Amazon is a bit backed up, but you should get your copy soon. If you have already purchased the book, thank you.
