The Backstory
Per the Herald, the business is run by Branden Kuersteiner, who has been introducing his take on New York pizza to the Grand Forks area over the last six weeks. The Herald reports that Kuersteiner grew up in upstate New York, near Syracuse, and moved to Grand Forks 13 years ago. It also reports that he sold pizza by the slice to the late-night crowd while in college in Oneonta, New York.
The Herald reports that he noticed Grand Forks lacked a place to get a good New York-style slice.
What It Means for Grand Forks
For residents, this is not a new restaurant with a street address. It is a mobile option that shows up where events and venues host it, so availability depends on the schedule. The business's website says it serves community events, breweries and private gatherings.
