(I love this story.)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our owners, Gail and Richard Lozoff and Ed Brownell, had a vision to open a<br \/>\npizza place with hand-spun pizza, salad and wine that had an atmosphere<br \/>\nthat brings all types of people together to share a variety of dining<br \/>\noccasions. It wasn&#8217;t that there wasn&#8217;t enough pizza out there &#8212; there just<br \/>\nwasn&#8217;t enough GOOD pizza. Pizza like they make in Italy and they wanted to<br \/>\nbring that experience to an American audience in a fast casual environment.<br \/>\nThey partnered with James Beard Award winner Michael Smith to create a<br \/>\nunique taste profile for SPIN!&#8217;s ingredients and pizza and salad<br \/>\ncombinations.<\/p>\n<p>SPIN! opened its first restaurant in Overland Park, KS in 2005. Since, we<br \/>\nhave 5 more locations in the Kansas City metro (with 2 more on the way), 3<br \/>\nin Southern California, our Papillion location and plans for 4 restaurants<br \/>\nin Dallas Fort Worth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What type of pizzas do you offer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of our pizzas are homemade and baked in our stone-oven in the<br \/>\nNeapolitan tradition &#8212; with thin and bubbly crusts. Our combinations are<br \/>\ncreative twists on classic tastes. We serve hand-spun original and wheat<br \/>\ncrust and gluten-free crust pizzas with crushed tomato (rossa sauce) or<br \/>\nroasted garlic olive oil glaze (bianca sauce). Our pizzas are topped with<br \/>\nfresh mozzarella, several different hand-grated cheeses and our SPIN! mix<br \/>\nof Italian cheeses and oven-roasted veggies, house-roasted chicken and<br \/>\nmeats. We roast our veggies and meats every day in the same oven that bakes<br \/>\nour pizzas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you have besides pizza?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our homemade soups are made fresh daily &#8212; minestrone and tomato basil.<\/p>\n<p>We are known for our salads; in fact some people eat pizza with their salad<br \/>\ninstead of salad with their pizza!<br \/>\nFlatbread (rosemary flatbread baked in our oven) with homemade spreads:<br \/>\nwhite bean hummus, red pepper and goat cheese and lemon ricotta olive oil.<\/p>\n<p>Our menu also features homemade sandwiches on challah bread with homemade<br \/>\nmayo spreads, crisp fresh lettuce and tomato and premium meats and cheeses<br \/>\nand grilled panini on farmhouse bread with melted cheeses, oven-roasted<br \/>\nveggies and meats.<\/p>\n<p>For dessert, we serve gelato that is made for us from only natural<br \/>\ningredients and flavorings. We don&#8217;t use bases as many gelato places do.<br \/>\nOur flavor selection rotates regularly so there&#8217;s always a new flavor to<br \/>\ntry, like Blueberry Butter Cookie or Tiramisu.<\/p>\n<p>We have a robust wine and beer selection of house wines, bottles from our<br \/>\nSPIN! BIN for $22 each, 8 craft beers on tap and a lineup of craft bottles.<br \/>\nWe also have three types of sangria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a difference between your restaurant and other pizza places?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At SPIN!, we make our dough fresh every day and hand-spin our pizza shells<br \/>\nin our open kitchen for guests to watch pizzas being made! We prepare all<br \/>\nof our ingredients in our stone-oven, so they are seasoned and packed with<br \/>\nflavor (herbs, garlic and olive oil) before they even land on a pizza. We<br \/>\nmake our own sangria in house. We get rave reviews on our salads, too, that<br \/>\nare made with all homemade dressings and house-baked croutons. Almost<br \/>\neverything on our menu can be made gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian. We<br \/>\ntake our guests&#8217; diets very seriously, and are ready to customize anything!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will your hours be?<\/strong><br \/>\n11am-10pm Mon-Sun<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you still hiring?
