Nicky Slices Started With Pizza Pop-Ups. Now He’s on Pace for $1.3M.

Nicky from Nicky Slices Pizza Club joins me to talk about the path from making Detroit-style pizza at home during COVID to opening a brick-and-mortar shop in St. Louis that is on pace to do over $1.3 million in its first year.

We get into building an audience before opening, finding the right partners, why they do online ordering and walk-ins only, controlling food and labor costs, and the expensive surprises that came with opening the shop.

If you’re thinking about opening a pizza shop, this is a good one to take notes on.
