Another thing we do, we marinate our artichokes in our own blend of seasoning rather than buy pre done ones. Hope you have enjoyed them on the Okie Dokie Artichokie!

We make our sausage in batches. Mix it, let it mingle and party overnight and then cook it up.

Do people like this or is a bag of premade stuff a better idea? We did this because we wanted to provide quality that others weren't. It costs us a lot more to do. If bagged is ok, it saves us time and money.

We have 2 or 3 Detroits left, less than 5 gluten free, a handful of mushroom caps and HUNDREDS of wood fired rounds :)

Taters are back on as well!

Our menu is that of a sit down place more than carry out. Lots of scratch made items. It means we have to charge more than a standard carry out company would.

Curious if the quality is appreciated by you guys or if you would rather we use premade stuff and dropped our prices. It would be good to know.

Was anyone's pizza today super salty? If so, can you comment with what you got? I am trying to find shared ingredients to narrow it down. So far, we have taste tested things with no results :(

Soooo. A lot of people complain about our phones. Ask why we dont get more lines. This is 100% why.

75% of our fake orders, are phone based. We are down 3 large Dillys. The ingredients. The time.

Am I mad? Nope, someone is a child.

Am I frustrated? Yes. We wasted time we could have spent working on pizzas for people that are actually hungry.

We might start requiring prepayment on all phone orders. Which is a hassle for everyone.

We are having a doozy of a time with this head cold/flu season. We were down 2 yesterday and 3 today. Hopefully everyone gets better quick!

I will be looking, reading and listening to everyone's comments on my post yesterday. Tonight though, I have a long day of Prep ahead of me.

ON THAT NOTE!

I am going to preface this by saying, I know the economy is rough. I know wallets are thin. I know bills just keep on climbing. I live here as well :)

I did some math yesterday and realized its just 50 pizzas.

The significance of that number is huge to me, probably doesn't mean much to you.

If we were able to sell 50 more pizzas a day, 99% of the stressors in the business would be gone.

50 pizzas in a town of 70,000 + seems doable, but it hasn't been.

50 pizzas when we use organic flour, make everything from scratch, shred our cheese fresh, cut all of our veg daily and do so much to bring you the best pizza we can.

50 pizzas when we have been showcased on Food Network. When we were placed on a short list of 6 pizzerias by Guy Fieri. When we have won "Best Pizza in Fairbanks" in the News Miner every year we have been open except 2. When we have been voted Second and Third Best in State in Alaska Business Magazine 4 times. Only being beaten by places with followings almost as large as our town lol.

We are busy during dinner for sure, but we have hours a day where we make less than 10 pizzas per hour.

On any given day we make less than 10% of what McDonalds makes selling 'fast food'.

It is very weird to me how people support chains so much more than local places. Yes, I realize the chains are sometimes locally owned and always employ locals. In a recent study (by the Institute for Local Self Reliance) local restaurants kept 79% of their revenue in the local economy while chains were at 30%. They tend to use less expensive ingredients than most of the local places. They employ less people because they have systems in place that minimize their labor, they spend millions researching that. They have multi million dollar advertising budgets and food research teams. We have "us".

At the moment, "us" consists of 27 local people that are doing our best to get you interested in coming by to try our pizza. It is a lot harder than it sounds. It takes constant commitment. A ton of labor and dedication to what we do.

I guess what I am saying is, support local places. I know some complain that local places taste bad or have bad customer service. I have yet to eat at a local place where I wished I had ordered fast food instead.

Thanks for reading this, I know it was long :)

I have been quiet on here, sorry its been a motivation issue. Seasonal change :)

We have plenty of Wood Fired and Detroit Pizzas on hand.

We are still hiring for these positions if you know anyone interested!

Night Shift Register - 445 PM to Close. Basically helping customers, taking orders, handing out orders and at the end helping clean up for the next day. We start at $16 an hour plus tips. Tips will put you into the $20's. If you are over 19 you can enroll in our 401k and we do matching on the first few %.

Early Morning Prep - 5 AM to whenever done. This position will be slicing veg, making Gluten Free Dough, helping with sauces, meats and all of the fun things we need. This position starts at $18 an hour and also is eligible for a 401k.

If you know anyone interested, please have them send an email to [email protected] but also maybe mention if they prefer to be contacted via phone or email. I have had a lot of applicants that just never respond to setting up interview requests.
