About
My whole life I loved two things pizza and basketball more than anything else and wanted to turn my passion into a business. Using premium and affordable ingredients. I am the class of 2027 at Shawnee Mission west, i’ve been playing basketball my whole life, and make the best pizza there is. My goal is to share my passion
of making delicious pizza with my love for basketball.
Part 1:
The problem is a lack of connection between the community and lack of fun events for gatherings. Catering 200-500 depending on amount of people. Single sales 12-20 depending on size and topping. Shirts $20
Part 2:
Pizza lovers age 13 to 45 in the KC area
Part 3:
Instagram
Facebook
Word of mouth
Part 4:
other small pizza pop ups, what makes us different is the basketball experience
Next Steps
I need people to spread and share hoops and dough with friends and family, follow on social media, mentoring, networking around the KC area.
Other Information
This experience has been great. I want to continue to connect the community and give people great experiences with hoops and dough.
