Story time from Denise G.: Yesterday, I ordered a 10-inch meatball pizza from a local shop. When it arrived, my eyes widened to THREE FULL-SIZED MEATBALLS on each slice. That was one heavy pizza. The cautionary tale here is where was the quality control? Who was running the expo or pizza line to allow 4 pies worth of meatballs to land on my small pizza? That's unchecked money going straight out. This is your friendly Monday reminder to check your quality controls, especially if you have new pizza makers. Here are some ways to put your portion controls in check: https://pizzatoday.com/topics/operations/the-million-dollar-lesson-a-story-about-portion-control/
