More commonly, these spiritual successors end up falling behind those they are trying to imitate, like Yooka-Laylee not matching the quality of Banjo-Kazooie games, or Mighty Number 9 being inferior to 90% of other games, let alone the Mega Man games.

The bridge between two iconic cities was finally built as Two Cities Pizza Company was born.The world of indie games is one that is an assortment of ideas, be it unique ideas that never would make it past an elevator pitch, all the way up to tried and true tested gameplay ideas given a new life. When seeking the best style of pizza, the founders arrived at two. Zach and Sean realized that choosing one city over the other would not truly represent the American pizza tradition. In this case, the “problem” actually proved to be the solution. Zach and Sean had narrowed their focus to two styles of pizza, that just so happen to be opposite in composition: New York and Chicago style pizzas. The first and most consequential “problem” arose on that summer break. There are so many styles of pizza in the world, but the founders knew that only the best style would ultimately become the focal point of their future menu. On a college summer break, Zach and Sean got to work. Creating the best pizza, and brand to showcase it was the mission. There are countless combinations of flavors between dough, sauce, and toppings. Their life-long friendship, and shared love of creativity and food ultimately made Two Cities a reality. Sean Spurlock and Zach Greves founded Two Cities Pizza Company in 2015 when they were twenty-two years old.
