A Slice of Bada Bing

hh... the power of a sale; a sale has the power to make and break, and in the case of Bada Bing Pizza, it definitely made. Vicki Koepke’s eye was caught by cheap pizza bags. She had been thinking of starting some sort of food business in Cedar Grove because she likes to cook and has experience with it; so the sale was like a sign. She talked to her husband Bob and her brother-in-law Dave, who previously owned a restaurant together, and together they began to mix the ingredients for a local pizzeria.

            While searching for a name for their new pizza place, the trio wanted to think of something easy to remember with a little bit of a kick. The name Bada Bing “just came to me” says Vicki. “It just slips off your tongue and reminds you of something really tasty!”

            In order to get ready for the opening of Bada Bing, Vicki got certified with the state for food handling and began to practice her new recipes. With her family often serving as willing guinea pigs, Vicki tested many recipes before she considered adding them to the menu.

          In order to run a successful business, the Bada Bing crew believes that homemade, high quality pizza is the ticket. “People want real food, and that is what Bada Bing provides.” Vicki said. In a business that often centers on efficiency rather than excellency, a high quality product will set you apart.
