In this episode, Brian Nittayo of Rose City Pizza sits down with Alex to chat about the inception of some of the viral culinary creations to come out of the kitchen at Rose City, such as the elote pizza, the birria pizza, and the lasagna grilled cheese. Brian shares the challenges of building out a restaurant and running 2 restaurants at the same time. The conversation ranges from restaurant culture to hiring the right people, to getting punched in the face at a Primus concert. Don’t miss this episode of PIE 2 PIE.

Rose City Pizza opened in Rosemead, California in 2009, and in 2022 they opened a second location in Covina. Despite the blood, sweat, and tears over the years, ”there’s nothing else I'd rather be doing.” says Brian.
