Business owner information

Tyler W and Joseph P.

Business Owner

Tyler Wilson grew up in Santa Barbara, later moving to Los Angeles to swim and play water polo for USC.  After four years of applying and reapplying to the Marshall School of Business Mr. Wilson left the university without a degree to open Wurstküche with his first cousin Joseph Pitruzzelli.  Joseph moved to Los Angeles with several years of industrial design behind him, and degrees in both Business and Industrial design from USF and CSAC. The two had originally set out to build both a dance den and a separated sausage kitchen. Within days of the opening, Wurstküche's success of combining exotic sausages and european beers overtook the then under construction dance floor which has now been reconfigured as the main beer hall. With lines wrapping around the block daily for lunch and dinner, the cousins future is lined in selling sausages to the greater Los Angeles area.  The two cousins have expanded to the Venice Beach area and are excited to look into expanding further.
