In this episode of CHOMP, we're diving into the heart of the pizza revolution with Sgt. Pepperoni, the local pizza joint that's taking the pie game to new heights. Led by founder Jeff Roberts, this concept blends old-school pizza traditions with a modern twist, creating unforgettable flavors that keep customers coming back for more. Join us as we sit down with Jeff to explore the origins of Sgt. Pepperoni and how his childhood pizza shop grew into the thriving business it is today. We’ll take you behind the counter to see how their signature New York-style pizza is made, from dough to toppings, and hear about the dedication to quality ingredients and bold flavors that sets them apart. Beyond the food, Sgt. Pepperoni is deeply committed to giving back to the community. For the past 11 years, Jeff and his team have donated to CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County), supporting pediatric care and helping families in need. It’s clear that the heart of the business isn’t just about pizza. Free E-book A Guide: How To Handle Absenteeism With Employee Absence Management https://restaurantassociation.com/lib...
