The Grape Pizza That Took First Place… How Does It Taste? (Yukon Pizza)

What happens when you take New York nostalgia, wild creativity, and a family-run pizza shop— and bring it all to the world stage in Las Vegas? In this episode, we head to Las Vegas to hang out with the crew from Yukon Pizza, a family-run shop that blends New York nostalgia with bold, competition-level creativity. From balancing 800g dough balls to topping pies with mortadella, marinated grapes, and pistachios, they’ve built a style that’s all their own. We talk about chasing perfection, the cost of cheese, competing on the world stage, and why— at the end of the day— it’s all about community.
