Why the Best Pizza Brand in OC Was Built on Integrity | Jeff Roberts | The Power Of Integrity Podcast
What makes a pizza place more than just a restaurant?
In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo sits down with Jeff Roberts, Founder & CEO of Sgt. Pepperoni’s, to explore how a community-first mindset, team loyalty, and unwavering consistency turned a local pizzeria into one of Orange County’s most celebrated hospitality brands.
Jeff shares his business journey from surf retail to global brand-building at Volcom and 5.11 Tactical, to reclaiming his childhood pizza shop and turning it into a mission-driven enterprise. With four thriving locations (and more coming), Jeff explains how culture, scratch-made quality, and community service, including a 13-year partnership with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), drive every decision.
He also opens up about the reality of leadership: letting go of ego, investing in people, and walking away from environments that lacked integrity, even when it cost him personally.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why high integrity hiring leads to high team retention
How community partnerships build long-term customer loyalty
What it takes to grow a values-first business in the hospitality space
