Shane Tyrer of Boss Pizza: The Happenings Podcast Is Back

The Happenings Podcast is back! After a few years away, my first guest, and my guinea pig, was Shane Tyrer, owner of Boss Pizza in St. Catharines, Ontario.

How I found Boss Pizza

We'd barely talked before this. I had ordered under an alias for my review, so Shane didn't know it was me. We get into how I discovered him and what happened when the review went live.

What we talked about

• Getting into the pizza game. How Shane started and why he loves making pizza.
• Buffalo inspiration. Boss Pizza leans into Buffalo style, and we compare notes on what makes it special.
• Pizza science. There's a lot more to dough, heat and timing than most people think.
• Wings. Why bigger isn't always better: past a certain size the meat gets stringy.
• Pricing and the future. What a large pepperoni costs around the region, and whether Boss Pizza could go from one day a week to full time.

Thanks for being the first guest of the new era, Shane.
