Jonathan Gandhi lost his job as a chef, at the one onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
He turned his culinary skills to his own advantage by opening Jon’s Pizza on Wheels – a venture that was launched earlier this year.
In business, there are good days, as there are not so good days, he said.
The trick is in striking a balance between the two.
Mr Gandhi has had experience as a chef in various resorts and restaurants around Fiji, including Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay, Sheraton Fiji Golf and Beach Resort, Kokonui Café, Bar and Restaurant and Malamala Beach Club.
Jon’s Pizza on Wheels operates out of Lautoka, and can be found on Facebook by the same name.
Mr Ghandhi enjoys cooking, “I love playing soccer,” he said.
“I also enjoy cookbooks.”
“I have a good collection of them.”

What Is The One Spot In Fiji You Would Take Every Visitor To, And Why?
Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay.
Although I have worked there, I couldn’t get enough of that place .
The view, sunsets and even the seafood are an absolute delight.
You will see some sort of aquatic life every time you walk towards the lobby.
What Is Your Favourite Spot For Pie/Coffee, And Why?
I always buy my Expresso from Mc- Donald’s.
The staff members are very helpful.
Lautoka’s Marine Drive.
What Is Your Favourite Secret Backyard Spot, And Why?
There’s a place near my house in Lautoka.
It has a nice view, with cool breeze.
Otherwise, I think Marine Drive in Lautoka is a good place to sit and relax, when it is not crowded.
Cloud 9
What Is The One Spot In Fiji On The Top Of Your Bucket List And Why?
Cloud 9 – Fiji’s floating paradise in the Mamanucas.
I’ve heard it is an amazing place to visit, a very different environment ,plus good food.
