When you hear Jordan Caniglia you might think that there is a good chance he has worked at or owns a restaurant in Omaha and you would be right! Caniglias A Mano has been serving up a thin crust style pizza for about 5 years and made a move to a larger location close to 72nd and highway 370 since their initial start.
Jordan joined us in studio to talk about pizza of course, but also challenges, and some of his influences. I like that you can try out the pizza a slice at a time to experience all of the toppings and I hope that you…

How do you pack all of Naples Italy into a food truck? Well, you can start with a motivated Brazilian with Italian parents who found food was his passion, cooked at several restaurants, moved to the US to learn English then went over to Italy to study VPN pizza.
That person is John Anthony St. Patrick and that food truck is Spacca Naploi. I encountered this hot and fresh pizza and John Anthony when I went out for dinner and we connected afterward to talk all things pizza. Oh and he does handmade Mozzarella and brought some in studio!

This episode was a ton of fun to make as I really love to learn and each room of the lab offered that opportunity. This is a sweet episode indeed and you’re going to enjoy where candy and science collide…or smoosh.

The Corvette Cafe, yes it’s located inside of a car dealership, but the menu is anything but stock. This more like the ZR1 customized version of as it travels the roads from scratch bread, and pizza, to in house made enchilada sauce as well as breakfast.
