Our interview with Chris Hansell is thin, crispy and juicy. Chris—founder of Chrissy’s Pizza—was kind enough to come through on one of his days off to cook up with us on black metal, murdered out fits, kitchen appropriate footwear, making the kind of pizza you and your father would love, the full pies no slices mindset, spending 5 years researching and developing what many people are calling the best pizza in NYC, how Action Bronson and a few other folks changed his life, actually living Kitchen Confidential, made to order pizza line math, getting a 8.2 from Dave Portnoy at the absolute worst time, choosing frozen pizza based on mood, today’s fetishization of chefs and kitchen staff, a litany of pizza takes straight from the sauce boss’ mouth that deal with everything from pineapple and ranch to pepperoni and accoutrement, the diy nature of hardcore as it applies to running a pizza business, the glory days of old school Pizza Hut and Domino’s before they changed their recipe, holiday treats, getting slices on a first date and much more on Chris Hansell’s interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.
