Born out of a pandemic hobby and fueled by an unyielding entrepreneurial spirit, Garett shares the inception story of his unique pizza venture, which began with a Kickstarter-funded pizza oven and a simple yet passionate idea to create something remarkable.
Alongside his incredibly supportive wife, Gabby, in Boca Raton, they turned a simple act of making pizzas for friends and family into a thriving business that challenges conventional pizza-making with innovative recipes and a commitment to quality. From the humble beginnings in his backyard, facing challenges such as navigating business operations during a pandemic, to the cease and desist that propelled him into the commercial space, Garett's story is one of resilience and the power of community.
This episode touches on the critical transition from a home-based operation to opening brick-and-mortar locations, the hurdles of scaling up, and the pivotal moments that have defined the brand's success, including an unexpected but game-changing visit from Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports, which skyrocketed the business's popularity overnight.
With a focus on premium ingredients, unique flavor combinations, and a sourdough base that sets his pizza apart, Garett discusses How Ya Dough'n's philosophy and vision for the future. Now expanding with multiple locations and even considering ventures into new culinary avenues, Garett's journey exemplifies the essence of entrepreneurial grit and the passion that drives the culinary world forward.
Tune in to this episode for an inspiring tale of how a simple question, "How ya doin'?" evolved into a gastronomic quest that's redefining the pizza landscape, one dough at a time. This episode is a testament to the idea that with hard work, creativity, and a bit of resilience, dreams really can come true.
