Brian Tondryk - Bartoli's (Chicago)
Listen now
Description
When he got tired of his corporate job, Brian Tondryk decided to get into the pizza business, because his grandfather - Fred Bartoli - inspired him as a kid. Bartoli started Gino's East in 1966 in Chicago. Tondryk had to talk to old timers, do his research and go back to his childhood to try to recreate the pies he remembered from the 1970s. He now has two Bartoli's locations in Chicago serving both deep-dish and thin pizza. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pizzacity/support
