Hidden Gems: Meet James Brister of PICASSO PIE STONE FIRE PIZZA

Today we’d like to introduce you to James Brister.

Hi James, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
We started our Pizza Business
At the beginning of the Covid pandemic.
(Picasso Pie Stone Fire Pizza)
As the previous company I worked for closed down.
So I had a woodfire pizza foodtruck built.
Spent every penny to my nameand others,
Lol.
And embarked on my first food venture.
It was a good business to get thru the times and I fell in Love with making gourmet Pizza Pie’s and see myself doing nothing else but making food moving forward.
After the Pandemic was over.
The foodtruck slowed down a bit.
As everything open Back up.
So, I sold the foodtruck and opened our first
(Picasso Pie Stone Fire Pizza) Brick and mortor Restaurant
At 105 east 8th street, Los Angeles California 90014
At the Corner of 8th and Main in the Fashion District Downtown Los Angeles.
Me and my family have Now been in the Pizza Business for the last five years,
Serving up some of the best Artisan Hand Tossed Pizza Los
Angeles has to offer

To see what people are saying.
All the pizzas we make are now gourmet Hand Tossed Stone fire pizzas.
As we changed up our ovens from woodfire to Stone fire in the transition.
As for the Pizza’s,
We only use the finest and freshest Ingredients.
As for are homemade Doughballs we use an amazing Wheat flour.
Our homemade Marinara Sauce is made with top of the line Tomatoes and Olive Oils.
All of are produce we use is used within days of purchase.
(Think freshness)

Buffalo,Nashville Hot, Lemon Pepper and BBQ.
We our now trying to Reach the masses and share our Love of food.
And seeking the community support as business has fell dramatically since the wildfires and the economic downturn.
Business has been down over 50%.
But the expenses have risen.
and we have invested our life Savings
Blood Sweat and tears into this Venture.
We now find ourselves litterly in a fight for stability.
And want to Overcome triumphantly
So we can continue to do what we Love.
Making Ridiculously Good Food, and Serving our regular Customers and Community.
We also feed many of the homeless on a regular bases free of charge.
As that is the kind of Family we Our.
But the economic downturn has made this
Harder to do than ever.
We Will be setting up a go fund me page to collect donations to continue feeding the homeless and less fortunate in these trying times.
And to keep the overhead under wrapps.
As the economic downturn has hit us all.
But God Good and love will always prevail.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Nothing ever goes as you imagined.
There have been many obstacles.
From Leaning curves to inspections, foodtruck builds, Restaurant remodels, to broke down equipment to broke down trucks, and everything in-between.
But there has also been countless beautiful blessings
The Journey is the lesson.
As long as you remember that you can do anything you set your Mind and your Hart too.
