This Week In Pizza - Hosted by Jim Dees
 All the hottest pizza news for the week of Independence Day 2008. |
This week on Ask the Experts we'll be speaking with Tammy Perez who, with her husband, Mark, owns The Pizza Club in La Habra, CA. Tammy will talk about the extensive promotions she and Mark run at their store, including a contest where the local pastor is bartender for a night... all for charity. You can read more about the Pizza Club in the August issue of PMQ.
 This week we want to hear from pizzeria operators who are using Display Cases to their advantage. Do you display pizzas, desserts or appetizers in display cases? How has it helped increase your profits by allowing customers to see your product before they buy? Take a short survey for the chance to be included in our Display Case feature coming up in our September issue. |

 According to a blog on blogs.usatoday.com, "Mark Evans, a retired Air Force sergeant, has taken it upon himself to send hundreds of Chicago-style pizzas to soldiers who will be in Iraq and Afghanistan on the Fourth of July.""The Daily Herald says Evans got Lou Malnati's to give him a discount on deep-dish pizzas and DHL Global to ship the frozen pies at no charge. At first, he planned to send 300 pizzas. That number has grown exponentially since reporters learned about the plan. AP says they're now set to ship 3,000 pies," according to the story.
