On our 40th episode of the Pizza Story podcast, we sit down with Will Fagg, the passionate owner of Tiny Brick Oven Pizza 🍕. Will shares his journey from growing up in a military family to becoming a self-proclaimed pizza nerd. Discover how his Southern hospitality roots and love for food led him to build his own pizza oven and eventually open a pizzeria that has become a community staple.

One of the highlights of this episode is the heartwarming story of how Dave Portnoy's unexpected visit and review helped keep Tiny Brick Oven in business ♥️. Will recounts the serendipitous moment when Portnoy, known for his influential pizza reviews, walked into his pizzeria just days before it was set to close. The encounter not only brought a much-needed boost to the business but also validated the hard work and dedication Will and his team have poured into their craft. Thank you @OneBitePizzaReviews
