“He mentioned he was interested in opening up a doughnut shop, which made me realize it was fate,” she says. Lazzarini and her husband, Francesco, partnered with Della Ragione and his wife, Lucrezia, to launch Naz-O-Nut Dooolicious, which opened its Nazareth doors in June.
Lazzarini says she is in the shop every morning at 2:30 a.m., getting everything prepared for the day. On their first day of business, they made 500 donuts, opened their doors at 5:30 a.m. and were sold out by 9 a.m.
“[The] next day, I made one thousand [doughnuts] and we sold out by 10 a.m.,” Lazzarini says. The following day, they made fifteen hundred doughnuts and were sold out by 10:30 a.m. “It's been hard work, but very rewarding.”
Lazzarini admits that she thought the doughnut shop was going to be an easy job, but now knows that she must meet the demands of her doughnut-crazed customers.
