Lights, camera, pizza. The owner of a Kings Park-based Internet pizza delivery company that caters to transplanted New Yorkers will get his 15 minutes of fame on Yahoo.
In a video that Yahoo filmed earlier this month, Ed Powers, the owner of IwantNYpizza.com will talk about how he got the idea for the far-flung pizza shipments, how people are responding and where he sees the business going. The video is scheduled to air Monday on Yahoo.com.
The two-year-old business contracts with four local pizzerias to ship the thin-crust pizzas to ex-New Yorkers who order on the company’s website. Powers estimates that he ships 150 pizzas a week. Most of the orders come from Georgia, the Carolinas and the West Coast, he said.
“It’s amazing how many people like New York pizza, he said. “It still catches me by surprise.”
