2025 Pizza Expo Recap

Send us a text

In this episode, I’m giving you my full recap of the 2025 Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. From my 4 a.m. flight out of Tampa to the non-stop action on the show floor, this trip was packed with energy, connection, and plenty of pizza talk.

I share what stood out to me the most—from reconnecting with pizza friends to seeing the latest in equipment and tech. I dive into the topic of automation in our industry—some of it I’m here for (hello, dough rollers), and some of it I’m not sure about. You’ll hear my take on where I think things are headed.

I also shout out some of the coolest things I saw (custom pizza peel magnets are now on my radar), talk about my favorite part of the expo (the competitions!), and share how inspired I felt watching pizza makers from all over the world go head to head. I’m even thinking about throwing my team into the mix next year.

And of course, I didn’t do much gambling (just $20 in a slot machine and called it good).

If you missed the expo, I hope this gives you a little taste of what it was like. And if you were there, hopefully we crossed paths! Let’s catch up again soon.
