Gio, the owner, has dashed out a million of them by hand.

He'd need to make 50 pizzas per day for 50 years to reach 1,000,000 - He said "easily" so what he's at 70 per day? Thats one every 6 minutes or so, 10 hours a day for 50 years - Nope.

As a person whose currently involved in the project management of a larger pizza franchise that's branching out this year into Brooklyn (and other residential areas on the greater New York metropolitan area) - I do agree that the family businesses have certainly their place in the city. But I certainly find a lot of value in bringing more work opportunities for people by instilling a larger chain of restaurants into various parts of the city also! We have currently acquired real estate contracts in various parts of the city for 14 restaurants - and seeing the current trend in the restaurant market, our number will likely keep growing. New York is certainly a pizza lovers town, and we are proud in bringing a great and unforgettable pizza experience for people to enjoy!

@mrsticky005 Жыл бұрын
Hey corporate drone how are you bringing in “more work opportunities” if your franchise is buying up all the real estate contracts? That just means more workers for your company. It doesn’t actually increase someone’s chance of finding work. It decreases it. Because the more real estate your franchise acquires the less there will be for other companies including the small family businesses. Meaning less places to find work. You say family business has their place in the city. Would that place happen to be under your thumb? Corporations are a disease and a deadly one at that.

When I see things like this, I really feel like you guys are blessed. In Korea, most pizzerias use factory dough, so when you order a pizza and eat it in a restaurant, you're eating a pizza that looks like plastic with a perfectly circular crust. There are very few restaurants where the pizzaiola rolls out the dough by hand and makes the pizza on a marble surface. Even in Seoul. I'm so jealous of you guys

I was skeptical about the million pizzas title on this, so I did the math even before watching it. I thought 50 pies a day was pretty good for a busy pizza shop and that rate it would take 50 years to make a million. I didn't think the guy even looked 50 so I thought definitely no way. But then yeah he opened his shop exactly 50 years ago and has been making pies since he was 11 so the math is on his side, and time and a pizza diet too since he doesn't look a day over 49. I'm thinking I should eat more pizza.
@Dragomire
@Dragomire Жыл бұрын
50 pies a day would be a very slow shop. The shop I used to work at would do about 250 orders on a friday, each order would be at least one pie, often orders would be 3 or 4 or sometimes you would get a big order in the morning for 8-20 pizzas, figure out the average of that over 250 orders, and that's just standard box pies that doesn't include the house pies you make for the showcase and the square pies you proof for hours every day. I'm in Florida, a shop like this in NY could expect to be busier than that.
