When New York-based Scott’s Pizza Tours was forced to stop offering in-person tours thanks to Covid, pizza expert Scott Wiener got creative quickly to keep connecting with his pizza-obsessed audience around the world.

With pizzeria visits off the table, Scott shares how their unique virtual courses and cooking lessons keep both staff and customers engaged, with deep dives into pizza making, and pizza’s surprisingly fascinating history.

At a time of tragic food insecurity, Scott also introduces us to his non-profit, Slice Out Hunger, which has pivoted in an incredible way. Along the way, Scott provides insight on the ultimate freedom of times of stress, fearless trial and error, and defining success in this unique moment.

Fun Fact: Scott holds a Guinness World Record — tune in to find out which one!
