THE POWER
I am happy to drive a little further and spend a little more for great product that is made by a really nice family. I know that the next time I want pizza they will be there, since many others feel the same way.

When you go out, either for dinner or shopping, what is your favorite place?
JEFF MACDOWELL
Director
Why do you consider that particular place your favorite? For many people, it isn’t necessarily the most elegant place or the most expensive store. Personally, I’m a huge fan of the simple things in life — and great pizza is one thing I will travel for.
Grimaldi’s Pizza in Hoboken N.J., is my all-time favorite stop. Not only was it the pizzeria of Frank Sinatra (Hoboken was his hometown), but the Clinton Street location is a simple, stripped-down place, and every time I go in the owner greets me and asks what I have been up to. It’s a place where I feel special, and where I know my money is going to support the owner and the families of those he employs.
