EXPO SPOTLIGHT

BILL OAKLEY

if they are anything short of impressed,
they shouldn't have to pay for the meal.
It's with that mindset that Andolini's
continues to succeed and flourish in
the super competitive pizzeria and
restaurant industry.
Their family values and high
standards helps them attract quality
employees with the same mindset
- creating a working environment
built on professionalism, collaboration
and teamwork. It is imperative that
they fulfill this commitment to their
customers and coworkers. Hospitality,
teamwork and expertise are required

Award Winning Restaurateur and Author
Mike Bausch is Coming to Pizza Expo!

M

ike Bausch started
Andolini's with his brother
Jim at the age of 22 after
graduating from college, and within a
year they had to expand to double their
capacity to meet demand of the Tulsa
metro area. They now have seven units
and one food truck, and more than
250 employees. Mike has traveled
to Italy in search of knowledge,
ingredients and how to perfect
his recipes and menu. He's won
international pizza competitions
and has been named best pizza in
Tulsa pretty much every year since
they opened. Mike has made some
expensive mistakes along the way, but
his experience, successes and passion for

pizza and his Italian roots has guided
his business model and rapid growth.
Andolini's specializes in high-end
ingredients, specialty beers and a
welcoming atmosphere, while catering
to budget conscious families. Mike's
commitment to an exceptionally highquality process and ingredients delivers
a unique dining experience based on
exceptional service, a great atmosphere
and above all else great food.
Making all of their menu items from
scratch was never a gimmick; it was
a conscious decision that if they were
going to prosper, it would be by putting
the customer first. That's why they have
always had the policy, if a customer isn't
happy with their food for any reason,

fundamentals that they practice every
day at Andolini's. The interlacing of
these essentials creates a strong fabric of
success for their entire team and a stellar
experience for their loyal guests.
I like to think that attending Pizza
Expo will be one of, if not the best,
investments of time and money that
you'll make. The bottom line is there's
always something new at Pizza Expo
that can improve your restaurant. As
always, our commitment to you, our
partners, is to produce the biggest and
best show ever!
Remember, attending Pizza Expo
is a tax-deductible working vacation.
