Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza has begun establishing its footprint in Colorado, with existing locations setting the tone for success.
To bring that experience, the local owners of the Broomfield, Colorado, Smokin’ Oak Pizza, Tahmina Rakhi, embrace the team approach: “It’s all about our staff! Our staff is energetic and likes to have fun, and our guests love them!”
Tahmina selected the Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza & Taproom franchise to share with Broomfield residents because the food is that good.
