Joy Robertson pulls up a chair at PaPPo’s Pizzeria on East Battlefield and sits down with the man behind the pies, Chris “PaPPo” Galloway. What starts as a conversation about pizza quickly turns into a story about family roots, Sunday Italian dinners, made-from-scratch food, and how one pizza recipe turned into a growing franchise that started right here in the Ozarks.

You’ll hear how PaPPo’s dough was inspired by baking bread with his dad, why real ingredients matter so much to him, and how PaPPo’s became a go-to spot for everyone from college students to families to people navigating food allergies. Along the way, Joy dives into crowd favorites, unexpected menu gems, and the famous brown butter cookies that have their own fan club. 🍪

It’s warm, personal, and full of food love. Pull up a seat, grab a slice, and savor this one. 🍕💛
