Siler Chapman, owner of King of Fire Pizza in Charlotte, NC, was already a world champion long before he went to Naples this year. Nevertheless, he earned the title back when he was a 20-something kid obsessed with acrobatic dough tossing and showmanship as part of the US Pizza Champions Team. Now, twenty-two years later, he's a serious business operator and a mentor to a new generation of up and comers, and he wants to be known for his pizzas and not just his acrobatic skills. Hear all about how he added a new gold medal to his trophy case at this year's Caputo Cup Championship, and how he's teaching new operators the secrets for running a successful pizza business via the Perfecting Pizza training program that he and Tony Gemignani and other mentors have created.
