Pizza Loves Disaster w/ Zak Fishman of Prime Pizza LA + Jamie Woolner of Pizza of Venice

This week, we’re taking a break from the Bay Area pods to sit down with Zak from Prime Pizza LA and Jamie from Pizza of Venice to discuss the impact of the Eaton fires— Jamie lost his pizzeria and Zak lost his home to the fire.

While the flames may be out, the recovery process has only just begun. It’s important to remember that long after the news coverage fades and social media moves on, the cleanup and the healing continues.

Disasters like these don’t come with a playbook, and as business owners, we’re often figuring things out as we go. This conversation gets heavy at times, but there were also plenty of laughs—because sometimes, that’s the only way to get through it.

A huge thank you to Jamie and Zak for sharing their experience. The love and support in this industry are real, and when times get tough, we come together. Here’s hoping LA can cut through the red tape and help the Palisades and Altadena rebuild, stronger than before.
