Sept 22, 2017
TOLEDO– Kevin Spitler, Toledo’s own homegrown hemp entrepreneur has been promoting the non-psychoactive nutritional benefits of hemp through his brick and mortar hemp business Toledo Hemp Center for going on four years. Mr Spitler explains “With hemp flour having many of the same benefits as the superfood hemp seed, hemp flour is ground hemp seed, it was a no brainer to help try and bring nutrition to of of America’s favorite foods, pizza.”
With Mr. Spitler’s push to continue to raise awareness of the nutritional benefits of hemp he began working to network with local businesses. This push is what led to a locally owned pizza shop named Pizza Cat.
Pizza Cat owner Matt Wojtowicz opened his masterpiece on May 19, 2017 which pretty much operates via its social media presence. Pizza Cat, known to take pride in its “keep it weird” does not have a phone line to take orders rather the popular pizza joint takes orders via Facebook Messenger. They promote the website pizzacat@keepcolonyweird.com as the pizza joint is located in the historic “Colony District” by Toledo Hospital.
Mr Spitler and Mr Wojtowicz as well as several supporters got together Friday evening at Pizza Cat’s new office in uptown Toledo located at the historic Ottawa Tavern and hashed out a hemp flour crust recipe. Mr. Wojtowics adds “We hope to open Pizza Kitten, which is an extension of Pizza Cat, but will provide smaller personal size pizzas to the Uptown District of Toledo”.
The hemp crust pizzas will be available on 9/22/17 beginning at 11am at Pizza cat located at 4034 Monroe St. With a limited supply the 30 – 9” pies, priced at only $5.00, will undoubtedly go fast.
Mr Spitler ends “We hope to generate enough excitement that Pizza Cat begins producing these nutritional pies on the regular basis”.
