The Pizza Weekly is your insider source for stories, insights, and trends from the world of pizza. Founded by Jay Trabelsi, a hospitality veteran turned pizza aficionado, the publication brings a unique perspective shaped by both hands-on experience and a deep passion for the craft.
Jay’s journey into the pizza world began after a series of life-altering challenges. Following the closure of his property management business during the COVID era, Jay navigated a period of survival and resilience, working a variety of jobs from delivery to retail. His turning point came when a local pizza restaurant offered him a role as a crew member. Starting in the kitchen washing dishes, Jay quickly advanced to manager within a year, drawn by the artistry and culture of pizza.
His career reached a new height working alongside Tony Gemignani, one of the most renowned figures in the pizza industry. At the Slice House franchise in Santa Clarita, Jay helped lead the team to record-breaking success, achieving $25,000 in a single day without selling alcohol—a testament to the power of quality, innovation, and customer experience.
Motivated by a growing obsession with pizza, Jay founded The Pizza Weekly to share the stories, trends, and insights that shape this dynamic industry. The platform serves as a resource for professionals, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the craft and culture of pizza.
The Pizza Weekly isn’t just about pizza—it’s about celebrating the people, stories, and innovations that make the industry extraordinary.
