  • The Multi-Use Glass Dough Room + The Pizzeria That Made Delivery Pizzas Way Better (Flour+Water Pizzeria)
    2025/04/13

    What if your dough room could pump out 2,800 dough balls, double as a private dining spot, and deliver pizza that still slaps after 30 minutes— thanks to smart, intentional systems?

    In this episode, Thomas McNaughton, Ryan Pollnow, and Elliot Armstrong of Flour + Water Pizzeria take us behind the glass into their dough room—a space built for precision, volume, and versatility. They share how they reverse-engineered a pizza that thrives in both restaurant and delivery settings. From dough hydration to custom cheese layering, they reveal the systems that make their pies stand out long after they leave the oven.
