In this episode, we sit down with Eric from Lost Pizza Co. in Ocean Springs to talk about more than just great food. We get into how the restaurant has become a true part of the community — hiring local kids, supporting local schools, and building a family atmosphere that goes way beyond the dining room.
We also discuss an important fundraiser happening for Jacob, a former employee who was seriously injured in an accident. On November 18th, Lost Pizza Co. is donating 100% of the entire day’s sales (dine-in, takeout, and delivery) to help support Jacob and his family with medical and travel expenses. This is a chance for the Gulf Coast to show what community really looks like. 💙
Eric also shares the story behind their yearly yearbook signing event, which started when a local student’s book came home without a single signature. Lost Pizza stepped in, the community rallied, and every page was filled. Moments like that are why this place matters to so many.
We do taste testing in the studio, talk about menu favorites, the story of how Lost Pizza began, and how they’ve stayed committed to Ocean Springs since day one — through the good times and the tough, including opening just before COVID. 🍕🔥
❤️ FUNDRAISER INFO: On November 18, Lost Pizza Ocean Springs is donating 100% of ALL sales to support Jacob’s recovery. Stop in, order takeout, or delivery — it all counts.
Also big thanks to Southern Magnolia Smiles, Forever Young Men's and Women Health, and Taylor and Cox Law Firm, for the support!
