Welcome to the first installment of PMQ’s new blog, The Pizza Insider. As PMQ’s former editor-in-chief and current editor at large, I’ve been entrenched in the pizza industry for seven years, and have loved every slice of it. Now I’m on a mission to bring you the latest tips, trends and technologies making waves in the industry. PMQ brings you the information you need on a monthly basis through the pages of PMQ Pizza Magazine, weekly through our Wednesday e-newsletter, and online with The Pizza Insider.
