San Diego Apartment Pizza Maker Sells Just 15 Pies a Week; 3,500 People Chase Them in 30 Seconds
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — A man in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego, San Diego County, California, makes just 15 pizzas a week in his apartment kitchen, yet more than 3,500 people are waiting for them and the slots sell out in under 30 seconds.
Pizza maker AJ Miller, originally from Connecticut, moved to San Diego in 2020 and, missing the East Coast-style pizza he grew up with, taught himself to make it. Laid off from a marketing job this past summer, he turned the hobby into a business run from his apartment — no storefront, no commercial oven, no delivery fleet — baking 15 fifteen-inch pies a week at $25 to $30 each.
The pizzas have gone viral on social media, where Miller has built a following of more than 114,000, and more than 3,500 people have joined the waitlist for one of the 15 weekly slots. Miller says the business is profitable but not yet enough to live on. The sign-less apartment pizzeria has become one of Southern California's most sought-after food finds.
