There is something so sacred about the way food trickles down through a family tree🌳. Jim Mumford and I dove deep into the “generational hands” that shape the pizza we eat today. For Jim, it started with his Sicilian grandmother, whose love for cooking trickled down to his mom, and then finally to him. Now, he’s passing that fire onto his two daughters—his self-proclaimed “Pizza Monsters.”
We talked about how pizza isn’t just an “Italian food” anymore; it’s an international language. From the streets of Italy to the suburbs of Michigan and even down to Brazil, the way we make dough and choose toppings is constantly morphing as it passes from one hand to the next 🍕.
Jim’s perspective on how New York style has evolved from Neapolitan and how his own kids are now the “bosses” of the pizza oven is such a beautiful reminder of why we do this. It’s about more than a recipe; it’s about making sure the story continues. Don’t miss this heart-to-heart on the Pizza Story Podcast!
