HomeMade Pizza Company In 1997, when Eric Fosse told his family and friends that he was leaving his job to open a pizza business in Chicago, they probably thought he was crazy. Seriously, how many pizza delivery services do you think already existed in Chicago? Yet Fosse had a new idea. His pizzas would be made to order and delivered, just like the others, but rather than delivering the pizzas hot and ready-to-eat, his pizzas would be delivered uncooked and unboxed. Customers would slide the pizza, which came on heatable parchment paper, into their ovens at 425 degrees and in 10 to 15 minutes have a fresh pizza. The advantage: the pizza would be filled with fresh ingredients and would be piping hot from the oven. Sound simple? It wasn’t. Fosse’s distinctive advantage, other than delivering pizzas in a new way, is fresh ingredients and a dough recipe that was rolled out after months of taste testing. To get the freshest ingredients possible, the company works with local farmers to…
