Your Host
Ryan Hertel.
Pizza Concierge.
Native to Northeastern Pennsylvania, I've spent a decade studying the region's pizza traditions. The families who built them, the kitchens that preserve them, and the small, specific reasons each tray tastes the way it does.
Every tour I lead is personal. I coordinate the kitchens, time the pies, and curate the conversation. You arrive. You sit down. You eat.

An Editorial
Why this region.
Why this tradition.
Long before craft pizza became a coastal obsession, the Italian families who came to Northeastern Pennsylvania to mine anthracite were quietly perfecting a regional tradition unlike any other in America.
They built it on rectangular trays. They argued, and still argue, over red versus white, sweet sauce versus traditional, double-cheese versus stuffed.
