March 2019. I sat for a number of sluggish and calm moments with speaker Scott Sandler, who owns and operates Pizza Head in St. Louis. Scott usually tackles vegan subjects at International Pizza Expo. I bumped into him in a corridor exterior a convention room as he was charging his cellular phone and I used to be on the brink of name house and say good day to my sons. We caught up for a number of temporary moments, gave each other a hug, after which it was time for me to go right into a convention room to introduce audio system and lead a panel dialogue.
Later I bumped into buddy Doug Ferriman, a Boston-area pizzeria proprietor. One other hug. Then there have been handshakes and high-fives from Melissa Rickman from Colorado, Tony Gemignani from California, Theo Kalogeracos from Australia and tons of extra from world wide. The good social gathering that’s Pizza Expo was underway.
Little did we all know how a lot the world would change in a mere 12 months. Had we identified, we’d have been terrified.
Now, after an exhausting and infrequently harrowing stretch, right here we’re. We waded by to the sunshine.
Later this month when Worldwide Pizza Expo 2021 kicks off in Las Vegas, we could have reached a big milestone. It will likely be the primary main pizza gathering since 2019. What a spectacular occasion it’s going to be!
The present’s significance to the pizza trade can’t be overstated. Within the phrases of the Grateful Useless, what an extended, unusual journey it’s been. However now we’re right here; we’re able to rock. The present, lastly, will go on.
