Tuesday, March 14, is Independent Day at International Pizza Expo?, and what better way to launch the show than hearing from the leaders of Pizza Today?s 2005 Independent of the Year ? Mangia Chicago Stuffed Pizza.

Fate must have played a role in bringing Jeff Sayer, Mark Negro and John Kinnaird together. Each bring a different talent to the business, and unique paths led them to where they are today as co-owners of Austin, Texas, based Mangia Pizza.
