5 minutes with Ryan Gregg, owner of Greggo’s Pizza and Sandwiches

AGE: 30

HOMETOWN: Mount Ayr

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN OPEN? 3 1/2 years we’ve been open

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO OPEN A RESTAURANT? I learned how to cook when I was in about eighth grade and I loved it. I actually loved eating before I loved cooking, so that’s how that worked out.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST SELLING ITEM? Pizza for sure. Probably the deep dish pizza or the thin crust.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM ON THE MENU? The Rancherado. It’s a burger that has a homemade rancherado sauce with ranch seasoning and all the veggies. It’s pretty tasty.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE JOB? Keeping everybody busy

FUNNIEST OR STRANGEST THING A CUSTOMER HAS TOLD YOU: It’s hard to remember every single one of them. There’s always something that comes up crazy every day.

WHERE DO YOU MOST WANT TO TRAVEL, BUT NEVER HAVE? Lawrence, Kansas. I’m a big Jayhawk fan and I never get to go.

ONE THING MOST PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU: I do want kids sometime in my lifetime and that’s probably something they don’t know.

ALL-TIME FAVORITE MOVIE: “The Sandlot”

BEST MEMORY FROM 2016: When Kansas beat Iowa State in anything.

HAVE YOU EVER GONE COW TIPPING? Yes, I have. I fell before I got to the cow, so it didn’t work out very well.
