Very humble guy. Researching his customers criticism was smart on his behalf. Most people would have just thought "were doing well, if you dont like our product go elsewhere" but he listened and fine tuned his skills and knowledgebase by reaching out to mentors and folks smarter than him. This is a guy who knows what hes doing!
Thanks for your comments. He is an amazing pizza guy. Very humble, very knowledgeable. He is an inspiration. You can see Jeff making Detroit pizza here: ruclips.net/video/NiZET5Ft9ck/видео.html
The part of this interview that caught my attention was the part about how he financed his first venture. "I borrowed money from 5-6 people" to buy into the business. This means that he knows moderately wealthy people (could be relatives, or close friends) with investment capital. He's a nice guy, but I'd rather watch a video where the person had to make up a business plan, and qualify for a bank loan or an SBA loan.
That is a great point. Starting a pizza business takes money, a lot of it! You need to have lots of cash to get started and at least enough money to see you through a year or two. The cheapest way to get into the pizza business is by getting into a mobile operation. Here is an interview you may find interesting ruclips.net/video/damlg026_xQ/видео.html
That story made me giggle, I once visited a "German" Restaurant in Fayetteville, NC and cussed the Owners out because their German Potato Salad was galaxy's away from what an Authentic German Potato Salad should be, I thought to myself that I would have not even feed that crap to my dog. I took it very personal because the owners only had visited Germany for only 2 years while the husband was there with the Army and did a terrible job being any degree of a good ambassadors of German cuisine. Any American who had their first introduction into German Food by visiting that particular Restaurant might left there with a very disappointing perception what Germany had to offer and I just made it crystal clear to these imposters that they didn't know what they were doing.
Very true. Reminds me of several pizza places I have visited over the years. Seems to me, the owners read about pizza and tried to recreate what they thought pizza should be. They failed miserably. All we can do, is to vow we will never be back. I do wonder how these restaurants remain in business. It's too bad they tried to pass off subpar food as authentic cuisine. oh well.

Gordon Ramsay: "If you served this pizza in Sicily, they would shoot you."
I think you may be right, but I'll wait until I hear from Chef Ramsay himself...
@@pizzatherapy Don't listen to Ramsey. His cookie-cutter, non-risk, methods won't work for creative investors.
Mob lol
