The Pittsburgh native and multi-platinum selling artist is launching a chain of delivery-only restaurants nationwide on Oct. 1 called Hotbox by Wiz, with one slated to open, albeit virtually, right here in Pittsburgh.
By partnering with Nextbite, a company the pairs professional kitchens with fulfillment partners that provide delivery services, Khalifa joins a growing “ghost kitchen” industry where restaurant-grade kitchens prepare meals for to-go only food companies.
