One thing I love is game shows. I think everyone does. Whether it was a sick day from school, or just a lazy college morning, I loved watching game shows like The Price Is Right, Scrabble, and others. Let’s Make A Deal is no exception, the outfits are crazy, and Wayne Brady is an amazing host. In our second year of business we were featured in the showcase showdown on The Price Is Right and 6 years later we made it onto another classic in the big deal of Let’s Make A Deal! The lady that wins this prize is beyond awesome, and I can’t wait to meet her! You never know where we’ll end up next, maybe Wheel Of Fortune…

Not too long ago, I was being asked several questions about the business for a local magazine that was featuring Chicago Pizza Tours not only as a cool activity to do in town, but also as an interesting business. When we got to the question “What is your proudest moment as a company?”, I was…
The way social media tends to be framed can give us an impression that everything works out amazing for everyone. That’s not reality. The reality is that things happen, stuff is out of our control, and it’s important to not panic and work hard to make sure that we are doing our very best to…
