Catch Audrey Jane's on Triple D Nation with Guy Fieri on July 5.
Audrey Kelly grew up in the bagel business — her family owns Moe's Broadway Bagel. But after learning the craft of pizza-making from world-renowned pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani, she took a different dough route into business, debuting Audrey Jane's Pizza Garage in Boulder in 2015.
Kelly has filmed with Fieri three times. The first was in 2017, when Audrey Jane's made its television debut onwhich will air on July 5 and throughout the rest of the month. In the show, Fieri"goes to revisit places he's been and check on them," Kelly says."He's always trying to lift up the industry and small businesses. ... I was really impressed with him because he just really seems to remember the people he's met before and the shows he's done.
While she used to be a regular on the pizza competition circuit,"It's been like five years since I really competed," she admits. But she recently returned from the Trofeo Captuo Cup in Naples, Italy, which was also"the last competition I did before COVID," she notes."I have three-year-old twins, and this is the first time I've really done something for myself since I had them, and it just felt like something I needed to do.
But it was all worth it. Kelly ended up taking fourth place in the relatively new Pizza Americana category. She also nabbed her first top prize ever, coming in first in the Pizza in Teglia category with her mom's sesame crust grandma pie recipe, beating 100 other pizza makers from around the world."Obviously, everyone goes into it wanting to win, but I feel like it's a personal accomplishment on a different level," Kelly says.
