This week on Pizza Roundtable, Jim and Will dive into the strangest, boldest, and most entertaining stories from the pizza world. We kick things off with Little Caesars’ first-ever self-service restaurant, a futuristic grab-and-go concept that blends speed, convenience, and a little bit of mystery. Then we shift to Florida, where one dedicated pizza lover was clocked at 107 mph racing to grab a Hot-N-Ready before the store closed.From ALDI’s bizarre yet lovable “ghost pizza” to Jim’s 16-pie party prep and Will’s Solo Stove improvisation, the crew explores the creativity, chaos, and culture that make the pizza community so uniquely fun. We wrap things up with a passionate debate over the nostalgia-packed Stouffer’s French bread pizza and whether any homemade version can ever truly compete.If you love pizza news, pizza nostalgia, or just good conversation—this is your weekly fix.
