Re: Frustrated Pizzeria Owner – Looking for feedback

Have used Grande and Bacio, does that mean you no longer use it?  What is the price of a large plain pizza?  Maybe your customers aren’t excited about wood fired pizza.  I know I wouldn’t.  I like an oven baked pizza myself, but everyone is different and wood fired is more of a niche than the norm.

It’s difficult for me to wrap my head around using quality ingredients with good reviews, but the business just isn’t there.  Do you customers ever offer suggestions like “We would love it if you had chicken parmesan so we can serve our pizza picky child.”  You don’t need a huge menu, you can make 3-4 topped pizzas with whatever combinations are popular in your area, and offer some pasta options.  A good spaghetti and meatballs is low cost and could potentially bring you in a different customer base.
