LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hi Tom,
My name is Melinda. I am writing on behalf of my husband who has no more patience as he has tried so much, so I will try to get all the details. We took over a pizza shop in Sydney, Australia 6 months ago and for the last few months have been trying everything to get our dough right. When we took over, the pizzas were the best we had ever tasted but since then we have had numerous problems. We spoke to Stephen (Millar) who I was going to ask to come and drop in to help us out until I found out he was in Western Australia and then visiting China. We will definitely employ him when we take over our next business for menu design, pizza advice and everything else he can offer us. He is a great man. I have attached our problem.

Hi Melinda.
I sent the message to Tom “The Dough Doctor” Lehmann and Stephen Milllar. I have forwarded you their responses, which I hope helps. If anyone else is having problems, just shoot me an email and we’ll see what we can do to help you too.

Hello Tom,
I have just been given a copy of your magazine, and I love it to be honest. We have invested in a small pizza oven in our restaurant and while I have made pasta for years, this is my first real venture into pizzas. I was wondering if it’s possible to be sent some back issues of the magazine, and do you have a mailing list for future issues? Thank you.
Russell

Hi Russell.
Thanks for the kind comments. It’s the writers of PMQ and feedback from readers like you that help make PMQ the resource it is. Regarding back issues, that isn’t a problem. Just ring me at 1800 008 487 and we can arrange to have some sent for shipping costs and we can get you subscribed.

Hi Tom,
We are big fans of PMQ Pizza Australia here at Mario’s Pizza! We are a small but authentic Italian Pizza Shop in Dianella. It has been said that our pizza shop is “fresh off the boat” and that it feels like you’ve just walked into a little shop in the heart of Sicily! We believe that it is our traditional, authentic Sicilian atmosphere and our pizzas that keep our customers happy and coming back night after night. We would love to host you for a night and have you taste our famous pizza’s! Please come down to Mario’s Pizza at 55c Walter Road, Dianella while you are in Perth!!
Mario

Hi Mario.
Done! If there is anything the PMQ staff loves it’s free pizza. I’ll have Stephen Millar give you a ring and drop by. Who knows, you could be our next cover story.

Dear Brandon (Farrell),
Thank you so much for you incite into the delivery aspects of a pizza business. I found your article in Pizza Australia’s October 2008 issue a ‘breath of fresh air’ and it really helped my business partner and I address certain ongoing problems we too were having with our delivery service. I can honestly say the Pizza Australia Magazine has really helped our business and your article is a great example of the type if information that can assist any pizza business.

Thank you.
