Interview with Chef Allison Leroux of Crowded Table Pizza

Chef Allison Leroux, an Ontario native who runs Crowded Table Pizza, is born to be in the business.

She grew up working in Amadio’s - her family’s pizzeria - to learn first-hand about the industry, and spent time outdoors with gardens and animals. She went on to study Animal Biology and Agriculture at the University of Guelph, while working on farms, urban agriculture and community gardens.

During university, Chef Leroux founded Crowded Table Pizza, a mobile, farm-to-table pizza project highlighting Ontario producers and seasonal ingredients, and has been growing ever since.

She also spends her time volunteering for non-profit organizations and festivals with a focus on culture and reconciliation.

In this episode, she talked about her journey to become a pizza maker, her love of local ingredients, the challenges she faces as a woman in the industry and more.
