Now casting: Owners and employees of family-owned pizzerias in NY/NJ area

I just recieved the following and thought I'd share this with the Pizza Therapy community...

Television show producer, JD, is looking for reality pizza stars...

If you know of anyone who fits the bill as a pizza making family who is a "really fun and friendly bunch and one that's totally "New York", you can contact J.D.

This is how stars are made!

Hey Albert,


I was lucky enough to stumble onto your directory this morning and thought I'd reach out about a project that I'm working on. Since you seem to have quite the working knowledge of all things pizza, I thought you might be able to help!

I'm looking for a family-owned and operated NYC/NJ pizzeria for a new TV project that I'm casting, and I thought you might have a couple favorites or maybe some recommendations of local pizza joints that might fit the bill.

We're looking for a really fun and friendly bunch and one that's totally "New York". Does anything come to mind? I'm attaching a press release that outlines the specifics, and I'd love to hear if you
have any ideas!

Thanks a ton,

JD
