The company name pi00a (pronounced "pie-oh-ah") cleverly substitutes the traditional "zz" in pizza with "00," referencing the premium Italian flour they use to make their dough. The family's approach combines traditional Neapolitan techniques with globally inspired flavors, producing restaurant-quality frozen pizzas that cook in under 10 minutes while simultaneously building economic opportunities for an underserved community.
