Max Balliet from Pizza Lupo in Louisville

12.22.2023

Max Balliet has held odd jobs in mechanics, but a life-changing trip to Italy as a kid shaped his future career. He didn’t see much of a pizza culture in his native Louisville, so he decided to create something completely unique – a neo-Neapolitan style pizza based on an all-natural sourdough starter – and now ⁠Pizza Lupo⁠ is one of the best places to grab a pie in all of Bourbon Country.
