Queen of the Feast: Lizz Aquarian’s Buffet Concept Is Like a ‘7-Day-a-Week Test Kitchen’
When you think about it, a pizza buffet concept in a small Southern town sounds like a slam dunk. But think about it a little more, then factor in a made-from-scratch, Neapolitan-inspired dough and a tourist-friendly location (a nature lover’s paradise in the Appalachian Mountains), and that sounds like a lot of work. But Lizz Aquarian, general manager of Downtown Pizza Co. in Murphy, North Carolina, isn’t complaining. She wouldn’t be happy if she didn’t have local families, school groups, and mobs of hungry hikers and anglers to feed day in and day out.
