A San Diego man got laid off from his marketing job and started selling pizzas from his apartment, and now 3,500 people chase 15 weekly slots

A San Diego man who was laid off from his marketing job this summer is now selling pizzas out of his apartment, with more than 3,500 people competing for 15 weekly order slots, as reported by the New York Post . AJ Miller’s 15-inch pies sell out in less than 30 seconds. Miller, who is originally from Connecticut, moved to San Diego in 2020 and found himself missing the East Coast-style pizza he grew up with. Since he couldn’t find the kind of pie he wanted in Southern California, he taught himself how to make it and started documenting his experiments online.

MTS moves to adopt new penalty program for passenger violations
