Short bios for the people running the joint.
Vic Briseno
Fearless Leader and Game Guru
Vic’s love for pizza and games both started at home. Games of Monopoly vs his dad would adorn the dining room table for days (despite his mother wanting it cleared). He was raised in the family pizzeria in Grants, NM which has been making killer pizza for 20 years. In college he arrived to the world of the hobby board game with his gateway being the classic, Settlers of Catan. After completing school and some years in manufacturing he is bringing his passions of pizza, games, and good times to Albuquerque.

She curates a selection of the best beers the state has to offer.
