Duong Hoang’s story is the ultimate Ottawa glow-up.
He grew up in Chinatown, always trying to find where he fit in. Years later, that search for belonging turned into a mission to create it—for everyone.
From building spaces like Standard Luxe Tavern, Stay Gold Pizza, and now Good Neighbour, Duong has redefined what community feels like. Whether you’re a local regular, an entrepreneur, or an NHL superstar (which he calls a few his good friends), when you walk through his doors, you’re home.
What started as slinging Detroit-style pizza out the back of a bar during the pandemic has exploded into a globally recognized Stay Gold experience, drawing fans from across the world.
Now, he’s sprinkling that same magic into the holidays with Sippin' Santa and Miracle on Elgin—two festive pop-ups that prove you can’t have a bad time in a Christmas-themed anything.
This episode dives into how Duong built belonging out of hustle, creativity, and heart—and how radical hospitality became his superpower.
🎧 Listen now and get in on the holiday cheer before it’s too late—tables available on Resy and OpenTable.
