In just a few years, MOTO Pizza has gone from a two-person operation to the highest-grossing food operator at T-Mobile Park, home to the Seattle Mariners. Lee Kindell, co-founder of MOTO Pizza, is back on The Hot Slice podcast to share how MOTO Pizza went from a standalone house in Seattle to what will be a 13-unit operation by the end of 2026. 

Kindell breaks down:

·         The P&L discipline that unlocked his growth.

·         Creating custom “iPhone” pans and a color-coded pizza box system that employees and customers appreciate. 

·         How a chance meeting at the original MOTO location got him into a professional sporting stadium.

·         Why he launched his own robotics company and why robots and AI do not replace human connection.

·         Expanding from Washington state into California.

·         What it felt like to win the Shawn Randazzo Best Detroit-style Pizza Award at Pizza Expo and how he's preparing to come back even stronger.

Learn about Kindell’s plans for an end-to-end pizza-making robot and how systems and efficiency are key to scaling your pizza business.
