Why the fast-casual pizza revolution burned out as quickly as it started
In short: Inspired by the assembly-line models of Subway and Chipotle, make-your-own-pizza chains promised fresh dough and rapid cooking times. This video examines the rise of this fast-casual trend and the factors that led to its sudden decline.
