Who’s behind Pizza Beat?

Mallory Rickbeil (she/her/hers) is a baker, writer, and woman thrice described as “built for work.” Akin to her favored contemporaries, Mallory chose the artistic medium of losing her ever-loving godforsaken mind during the isolation and uncertainty of the pandemic. Unlike many of her peers, she decided that pizza would be the mechanism to re-engage with reality (or something close to it). So far, the efficacy of this strategy has shown promise in the delicious pizza and friends* departments.

As a matter of principle, Mallory believes that the best lives and the best pizzas are made from the ingredients and people* you have around you. And so it is with this ethos that she emerged as the Twin Cities’ premiere pro-bono pizza correspondent who can only serve a quirky and hyper-specific pizza publication that no one kneaded until now.

And though sweet Mallory often wonders what she may really be chasing with this whole pizza journey- she carries on with the knowledge that: a life built on food and friendship is complete, loving pizza (unapologetically) is a feeling that should be embraced, and that striving for your most euphoric pizza destiny is a decision always worth baking,… I mean making…

*these are not now, nor have they ever been the place/ time for cannibalism jokes.
