The Secret to Pesach Pizzas: A Conversation with a Pizza Shop Owner

When it comes toPesach, food preparation is a crucial aspect of ensuring that all meals are kosher for Passover. In a pizza shop, this can be particularly challenging. "Can we let our employees come in on Pesach to turn on the ovens so that we can get that first pizza out?" asked an employee recently.

"We're most vigilant in right after Pesach," replied the owner. "There's one of the biggest problems and it's a big issue." The shop, which has multiple locations, including bagel stores and other pizza shops, relies on innovative methods to produce pizzas quickly.

"We're selling dough instead of making it fresh every hour," explained the owner. This allows them to churn out pizzas within an hour of the holiday starting.

"One year I want to talk about uh so of course you know they bring uh frozen pizza in the trucks," said the owner. "They sell it if they start churning out the pizza everything is great." However, things took a turn when the hotel's oil supply ran out. The staff had not eaten in a week due to the long hours spent preparing pizzas.

"The tool they ran out they ran out of pizza and um you would think the oil met the peso Hotel hasn't eaten in a week the way they were you know," said the owner. In this situation, the hotel's management decided to take their Pesach pizzas from storage and serve them to guests without anyone knowing the difference.

This experience highlights the challenges of producing high-quality food during Pesach. The owner acknowledged that turning out enough pizzas can be difficult, especially when ovens are not ready in time. "You have to be innovative," they said.

However, they did share a personal anecdote about their dilemma during Pesach. When it came to announcing the end of gluten-free pizzas due to an ingredient being removed from the recipe, the owner decided not to reveal this information to customers.

"It's difficult to turn out enough pizzas and you have to be Innovative," said the owner. "Ovens as I said earlier are not going to be um ready on time so they keep them on and alone the whole time."
