Who inspires Billy’s pizzeria in Orlando?

Billy Gardell is not only popular for his appearance in Mile & Molly but also for his restaurant Gardell Bros. Brick Oven Pizza. He had made sure to communicate that he would make regular visits to that place to make sure that everything was going according to the plan.

Billy had definitely shown the same commitment in the restaurant business, the kind that he has when he does some show related with comedy. The commitment leveled up to his desire to even buy a house in Orlando, a place he always loved.

One of the most important reasons he chose to have his restaurant in Orlando is because that is the place where it all started for him and his family. His career has begun over there.  It is family that has helped Billy stay so firm with the business. With his brother running the place, Billy is good to go and do all other businesses that he does.
