HOMEMADE Piasecki in his backyard making apie , one of his truffle slices and tossing dough in his kitchen .
few of his best pies ( and yes , wecan vouch ; they really are asgood as they look ).
THE FUTURE OF @ BACKYARDPIZZADAD
“ It ’ sawesome and humbling toknow that so many people share the same passion for pizza and want to see what ’ s next on the Backyard Pizza Dad ’ s menu !” Piasecki says of his internet fame .“ Alot of people even keep messaging me and asking me where they can order it .”
And , of course , the latter is a naturally valid question : Now that @ backyardpizzadad is aJersey household name , will Piasecki start pursuing his pizza-making passion full time ?
“ I love my corporate day job ,” he says ,“ So I ’ m not sure about starting a business yet . I ’ m thinking of doing a ‘ Backyard Pizza Dad InYour Backyard ’ thing for parties — and some limited pop-ups — but , right now , I ’ m not sure what ’ sgoing to happen . So , the best I can say isstay tuned .”
With his two young daughters
“ loving the pizza thing ” way more than the finance thing , however , we don ’ t doubt the rising internet star will change his mind soon .
And , judging from how many times he ’ s tagged Dave Portnoy ( America ’ s most famous pizza taster ) inhis recent videos ? ■ We think he might already have . To check out all of Dan Piasecki ’ s mouthwatering pies — and stay tuned on future “ limited pop-ups ” — follow @ backyardpizzadad on Instagram .
