Goldbelly: YC founder ships frozen Lou Malnati's pizza nationwide

Shaan breaks down Goldbelly, founded by Joe Ariel (ex-CEO of Delivery.com), which lets local mom-and-pop restaurants ship their signature foods nationally. It went through Y Combinator and raised close to $30M, with demand so high pizzas now ship with delays.

“He was the CEO of Deliver.com. So he has a history in the restaurant business. They raised close to $30 million. And Joe, Joe Ariel is his name. He, their office was up the street from my house. I live in a residential neighborhood and they had a house they lived out of and they went to Y Combinator. And I have to imagine they're booming right now. They're booming so much so that the pizzas all have delayed delivery due to high demand.”
