Is Pizza Really Dead?

Is pizza really dead? The Wall Street Journal seems to think so, but I'm here to tell you why they got it completely wrong

In this inaugural episode of Pillar Mindset, I break down the recent WSJ article claiming pizza is dead and explain why the pizza industry isn't dying—it's just going through some growing pains. Every industry has its challenges, and pizza is no exception. 🍕
