Slicing Through Adversity: With Faith, Fire, & Flour

By Joe Carlucci

If you love underdogs, Slicing Through Adversity is for you.

Joe Carlucci's life has been anything but easy-he battled ADHD, got involved with the wrong people, and at one point was so broke that he had to sell his and his daughter's furniture to keep the lights on. But rock bottom wasn't the end. It was the beginning.
Driven by the need for hard work and a daughter to fight for, Joe built Valentina's Pizzeria from the ground up. Named after his daughter, it has become one of the top pizzerias in the country, with 50 employees and a waiting list any day of the week and twice as long on Saturday.
This is a raw, real story of what redemption looks like, what real resilience is made from, and what it honestly takes to make it in the pizza industry.
