It’s an understatement that the era of COVID-19 has been tricky for the restaurant industry. But, pizza — the ultimate comfort food — is apparently staying hot.

To explore why, Tim Miner grabbed a slice of time with two foremost pizza experts. Charlotte’s Own **Chef Peter Rinehart**, chef on assignment at Johnson & Wales, is the author of *American Pie* and *Perfect Pan Pizza* and is the host of the internet show, *Pizza Ques*t.

Peter’s friend, **Scott Wiener**, is the founder of Scott’s Pizza Tours in NYC, a co-host on Thrillist’s *Really Dough* and a Guinness Book of World Records record-holder for the world’s largest pizza box collection. Together, they produce a new segment of “Pizza Box of the Week” on Pizza Quest.

So, yeah … when it comes to pizza … they know what they’re talking about.

For an extra-large serving of the Biscuit Blitz, Tim, Scott and Peter discuss why pizza has thrived during COVID-19, the alluring art of pizza box design and the never-ending search for the perfect pie. Oh, and they play a silly trivia game about fictional pizza places. (“Keep the change, you filthy animal!”)

After you watch, check out Scott’s nonprofit, [Sliceouthunger.org](https://sliceouthunger.org/), which produces pizza-related events and campaigns to support American hunger relief and prevention initiatives.
