Starting Out as a One Man Pizza Band | THE PIZZA SHOW

In 2013, Pizzeria Beddia first started in the Fishtown neighbourhood of Philadelphia. Famously, it had no chairs, no phone, no by-the-slice means of ordering, no delivery and only two employees.

Joe Beddia would prepare enough dough each day for only 40 pizzas, where customers would be willing to spend the majority of their afternoons waiting to try one of his whole pies.

Feels like he's one bad day away from becoming the pizza version of "no soup for you"

[Dkvizu]

He really didn't want him to touch that dough

[same]

I love how unique this is. I really encourage everyone who doesn't see it in that way to see that he's literally one. man. I want to have this pizza some day with my wife.

Kinda of genius… you can charge more for the pizza if it’s that good and you have ZERO food waste cost.. nothing ever gets thrown out.. work for 6 a day and make a profit every day

[portlandsamber]

Just googled this guy and he's doing pizza and wine now. How cool!

[benbrooker]

The ‘Pizza Camp’ book has been an incredible guide for me

[Romafood]

I love pizza, hello from Rome 🇮🇹 ciao

[freemoney]

i feel like he was the weird kid in school but pizza was his talent

[Greywolf]

He now runs Beddias 2 which is just a few blocks away on Lee st. Much more than 40 pies a day. I suggest making a reservation and trying the corn pie.

[DAMON]

I've never found a pizza better than New Jersey pizza, so either this guy's pizzas are this good or he's the only pizza guy in town.

[justing]

Wouldn't even let Frank make a doughball wtf!

[Gobolinn]

his pizzas are $24-$28 so 40 per day is around $1000+ a day not including beverages, appetizers, ice cream, pretty solid operation with 2 workers

[eddiehall]

We have alot of places like this popping up over Canada I'm in Ontario and frequent a few and in the process of opening my own

[PerfectPrinceX]

they actually closed for a year or two, got a new location, and he finally realized how stupid only selling 40 pizza's a day was. now its a normal restaurant.

[rducut]

People want what they can't have and that is the appeal of places like this. Is the pizza good? That is the question.

[realtalk]

Only makes 40 pizzas a day? This man needs a business partner ASAP 😂😂😂

[kryptopcgamer]

I wanna be the first in line and order 40 pizzas and make everyone mad 😂😂

[lookbeforeitstoolate]

How many times are you going to upload the same video?

[RareAirTwo]

40 pizzas for 25 a pie, this man makes roughly 30k a month making pizzas. That's more than any professional with a degree. Respect.

[joewj]

I got a great business idea for him...make more than 40 Pizzas a day..😂
