Welcome back, pizza enthusiasts, to another mouthwatering episode of 50 Tastes Of Gray. I'm your host, Matthew Gray, and today we're diving deep into the world of pizza with the one and only Scott Wiener, founder of Scott's Pizza Tours.
Scott himself is a true pizza aficionado, with a weekly limit of 15 slices that speaks volumes about his dedication to the craft. As a monthly columnist for Pizza Today Magazine, host of Thrillist's Really Dough, and Guinness World Record holder for the largest collection of pizza boxes, it's safe to say that Scott has turned his obsession into a lifestyle.
During our conversation, Scott shares insights into the artistry of pizza-making, the cultural significance of this beloved dish, and the fascinating stories behind some of New York City's (and the World's) most famous pizzerias.
We also delve into Scott's personal journey from pizza enthusiast to industry leader, exploring the challenges and triumphs along the way. Scott runs a Non-Profit called Slice Out Hunger (SliceOutHunger.org) doing wonderful things for people in need.
But perhaps most impressively, I managed to stump Scott, the pizza god, with a few questions he's never been asked before, a rare feat for someone as knowledgeable and experienced as him in the world and history of all-things-pizza.

Aloha friends, I'm Matthew Gray and welcome to 50 Tastes of Gray, with today's guest, Chef Grace Fornasa. Grace is not your average pastry chef, as she also works as a flight attendant for a major airline and runs her own content creation channel, Grace's Place.
