Meet Tyler Kotch of PIE.ZAA Pizza

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tyler Kotch.

Hi Tyler , it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
In 2020, PIE.ZAA opened to be Asheville’s premier late night, NY-style pizza. Located in The South Slope of Downtown Asheville, NC. PIE.ZAA is now voted one of best and largest pizza shop in the country by tasting table. We plan to expand and open our Charlotte store by the end of 2023 and other locations that are in negotiations right now. Tyler, the Owner and Founder of PIE.ZAA has a background in the operating room medical sales and consulting field before opening PIE.ZAA. He saw a need for late night quality food in asheville and so PIE.ZAA was born.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
We started during covid (September 2020) and being in the public eye is never smooth. Building a business in any facet will never be smooth. You need the ability to over come adversity and stay motivated to take on the speed bumps life throws at you. I don’t like to focus on negative things so i wont go in detail about struggles. Business is cut throat and managing people is one of the most difficult thing you can do as a human. If there isn’t struggle, there would never be happiness.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in creation. I have a super incredible staff that specializes in operations. I put a guideline in place for operations to run smooth, but my staff makes that happen. They rely on me to evolve the business year after year and make the business grow. I love to be a positive outlet for peoples lives. Me evolving the business and creating more sustainable positions in my company allows everyone to grow with me. Our brand is a super noticeable brand. We have a decent social media following that makes our days enjoyable and light. We only do 28 inch pizzas or 1 foot slices. No substitutions or menu changes. WHAT IT DOUGH!

How do you think about luck?
Luck is Labor Under Correct Knowledge. Making logical, thoughtful, and sustainable choices gives you the best “LUCK” you can ask for.
