Wingin it!

So what else are you selling at your Pizzeria? breadstix, pasta, garlic bread, salads, just depends on whats on the menu doesn't it,

Everybody loves wings and there are a lot of brands out there, so who's are the best? what flavors should you use? and do you make your own or do you buy them and if so what brand?

good questions all of them so lets get down the nitty gritty

making your own wings is easy, and setting your self apart from any other mass produces brand can be a great way to create a buzz around your pizzeria, the best part about making your own wings is that you can have your customers taste them and give you the feed back you need to before you begin the production.

Hot wings are a favorite where ever you go, making a nice spicy sauce for your wings is ease but make sure its not too spicy, remember that your customer base is diverse and some like it SUPER hot and some mild heres a few tips.
1. make your sauce with a medium heat and you can always bring it up if its not kickin enough for ya.
2. a nice asian sauce is always a favorite and not too many places offer a great one.
3. Italian spices are always a favorite this is a must for your pizzeria.

OK its the Friday morning after Thannksgiving, I hope you all stuffed yourself yesterday and had a great time with the Fam but my kids are out of school and I need to get them out of the house for some play time, but I will come back later and share some easy recipes with you on all the wings I talked about.

I will also have a local restaurant review for you to chew on and yes the column is called "Chew on this" from snap dogs to Michelin rated restaurants I hit them all so stay tuned to here and you can read all about the good eats in the local market!

cheers

Here comes the Turkey!

Its coming, Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away and it is another great time to boost sales in your pizzeria.

I don't know about your town but in mine is booming the night before Thanksgiving with kids back form college and familys getting together for Turkey Day, so I will be sending out a lot of box toppers for the next two weeks promoting the day before and the weekend after Thanksgiving and that will definitely boost sales---try it

Now on the Post-it notes that I talked about in an earlier post, we are starting to see them coming in so they definitely are working and we are designing a new set of them for distribution in two weeks. Take a look at that post and call Liz, she will get you all set up and then hit the streets and let the sales increase!

Oh and for all you budding Chefs out there that are thinking about a turkey pizza? don't waste your time, everybody's going to be sick and tired of turkey and will be looking for a great Pizza to munch on :)

Its the Holiday season, enjoy it, savor your family and friends and above all thank whatever "god" you thank for being in the best business in the world! Pizza baby!

Cheers
