Brett Geiger started making pizza as a passion project in 2018, and quickly fell in much deeper than first anticipated. He built and opened Izzy’s Pizza Bus in 2019 in Las Vegas, quickly gaining recognition for their Detroit Style pizzas made in a converted school bus. Izzy’s moved to Omaha, Neb., in 2022 but still has an amazing Las Vegas fan base they stay in touch with. He’s still new to the pizza game, but with each pizza cooked is a new lesson learned, and this delicious journey is still only at its beginning.
This podcast episode features Brett and Cherish of Izzy's Pizza Bus, who recently moved their pizza business from Las Vegas to Nebraska. They discuss the challenges and excitement of the move, the warm reception from the community in Omaha, and their experience being featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. I’m sure you don’t want to miss it!
