If you’ve ever stepped into Angelo’s Brick Oven Pizza, you know it’s more than just a restaurant—it’s a local experience built on community, consistency, and real Italian heart. In this episode, I sit down with Angelo Catalano, the man behind the oven, to talk about how he turned a dream and a wood-fired pizza oven into one of Wildomar’s most beloved restaurants.

From delivering pizzas himself during COVID to giving back through fundraisers and community events, Angelo shares his story of grit, gratitude, and great food. He also gives us a preview of his second concept, Forget About It, and what it means to serve people like family.

Whether you're a foodie, a fellow entrepreneur, or someone who just loves supporting local, you’ll walk away inspired—and probably hungry.

Topics We Cover:

• How Angelo built his restaurant just before the pandemic
• What it means to serve with love—and hustle
• The power of regulars, great service, and made-from-scratch food
