Nicole Russell’s Last Dragon Pizza; a Classic American Success Story

<p>When Hurricane Sandy devastated the coastal areas of Queens and Brooklyn, there were many economic victims. But Nicole Russell, who had already lost her job, decided not to be a victim and, instead, started making original pizzas baked in her home oven, and sold them out the back door, like her signature Kiss Mi' Converse Jerk-Chicken Pizza. Thus, <a href="https://lastdragonpizza.com/">Last Dragon Pizza</a> was born. Before long, Nicole had earned a big following and got invited to join a delegation of pizza luminaries to compete in Italy on the world stage in an international competition. There’s a lot more to this amazing Lazarus story, so join us on this episode of Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart, as Nicole tells Peter how it all came to pass.</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/PizzaQuestWithPeter">Click here for the video versions of Pizza Quest</a>. </p><p><i>If you count on HRN content, become a monthly sustaining donor at </i><a href="https://heritageradionetwork.org/donate" target="_blank"><i>heritageradionetwork.org/donate</i></a><i>.</i></p><p><i>Pizza Quest is Powered by </i><a href="http://simplecast.com/"><i>Simplecast.</i></a></p>
