Wolf in sheep’s clothing
This morning I happened to catch this interesting question on twitter; “How do vegans feel about non-vegan companies selling vegan products?” I think it’s a pretty relevant question, which is why I want to extend Vegan Mainstream’s concept here on the Pizza Fusion blog to see what others think. Now if you know me, you know I’m [...]
Full StoryAn Etsy Primer
Etsy.com is a virtual flea market of crafts, art, wearable designs and more. It is one of my favorite places to find interesting and different pieces of work that are unlike any that you will find in a traditional retail store. Think of it as a worldwide arts and crafts sale that never ends. Today [...]

Hungry for Change?
Johnny and I, along with Cesar Conde of our North Miami location, recently attended a screening of the documentary Food, Inc. by Robert Kenner. What a great film!

Full StoryThe Design Lounge: Spring Has Sprung!
I have always been a huge fan of Spring. Growing up in the midwest, the winters were fierce and the summers inferno-esque. In spite of (or perhaps somewhat because of?) the totally unpredictable weather, the tornadoes, and the torrential downpours, I would have to say that there is no season that tickles my fancy more [...]

How we roll on Earth Day here at Pizza Fusion…
The mothership’s (corporate) family came out and did a number on some garbage. I must say that Mark Begelman, our fearless CEO gets the award for, well, being fearless with some of the items he actually found and picked up.
