Director, Peter Ferriero- The Best Pizza is in L.A.

In this episode of Caught on the Mike , I sit down with filmmaker, storyteller, and longtime 90210 superfan Pete Ferriero for a conversation that goes far beyond pizza. Pete is the filmmaker behind the new documentary The Best Pizza Is in LA , an entertaining and heartfelt exploration of Los Angeles’ incredible pizza culture and his mission to prove that LA deserves a place in the conversation when it comes to the world's best pizza. We go behind the scenes of the film, the people Pete brought along for the journey, and what happens when a personal obsession turns into a documentary. But there’s plenty more on the menu. Pete and I talk about our shared love of Beverly Hills, 90210 , Peanuts, music, nostalgia, Anthony Bourdain, filmmaking, and the strange ways that seemingly unrelated interests can connect people. We also look ahead at some of Pete’s upcoming projects, including a documentary exploring the Wizard of Oz-themed theme park experience and a deeply touching documentary centered around the life and legacy of the late Tim Curry . What started as a conversation about a documentary quickly became a conversation about the things we’re passionate about, the stories we feel compelled to tell, and the people we meet along the way. I’m also proud to say that Pete has gone from being a guest on my podcast to someone I now consider a friend . From pizza and pop culture to nostalgia and storytelling, this is one of those conversations that reminds me exactly why I love doing Caught on the Mike . The Best Pizza Is in LA is available via TVOD. www.caughtonthemike.com caughtonthemike@gmail.com
