What kind of pizza place do you plan on opening?

Blodgette (Spelling?) is what most Chicgao pizzarias use.

I plan on starting a home town pizza shop, carry out and delivery. It'll be a Ma & PoP pizza shop. I make my own sauce and dough.

You'll probably want to use a Baker's Pride or Blodgett deck oven for your shop.

I agree with Steve, and have heard a lot of good things about Blodgett.

:DThanks for your help! Do you guy's own your own pizza shop?

DKM · « **Reply #9 on:** January 18, 2004, 10:27:23 PM »

No, I break computers for a living. However, I have worked in two different pizza places (for just over 4 years total) and consulted for 3 others and been making pizza at home for almost 10 years.

What I really want to do is open a candy store.

Have you tried applying for a small business loan?

itsinthesauce · « **Reply #12 on:** January 19, 2004, 09:35:40 AM »

Guys, I'm in the Retail business...if you need any advice, let me know. It's tough out there.

The SBA is having problems right now. Congress has not approved their 2004 budget, so they shut down the loan process for a while. Congress floated them a small amount of money for sa7 loans, but it's a real fiasco out there.

I franchise stores called Cardsmart. You can check it out at www.cardsmart.com.

I'm going to try another route, I'm going to buy all my equiptment in the next 2to3 years. I'm going to watch for auctions and close outs. I'm incorporated now under building and repair service. I still have to check out permits and insurance.

There's a pizza shop here that the owner sold to one of his employee's for $6000 cash for everything! Where are these deals when I need them. I'm in a perfect area for a pizza shop, the current shops are terrible. Bad pizza!

You might rethink that after this story.

I'm in Texas were it is 35, but most people here think it is 9 below
