Our story

From my father's kitchen to your celebration.

I am Dave. My father gave me a love of cooking for people, Italy taught me how pizza should be made, and my neighbors gave me a crowd to feed. We have been making wood-fired pizza for events and celebrations since 2021.

The inspiration

My father.

My father could cook anything except bread, so he never stopped looking for a good pizza crust. When he found his favorite, he took me to taste it. We bonded over pizza. That is where this began. He is the reason I make it.

The training

Italy.

I spent sixteen days in Italy studying how pizza is made and talking with the pizzaioli who make it. Their lesson was simple: few ingredients, good ones, made to share. I later went back for formal training.

The oven

Built with my neighbors.

I led the building of a wood-fired oven in my community, modeled on the ovens of Italian villages. Neighbors bring their own dough, bake, and stay for the company.

The work

Events and celebrations since 2021.

I have been making pizza for birthdays, holidays and celebrations since 2021, with a small crew of friends who still work with me. Today Bruno, our mobile wood-fired oven, brings the fire to your event.

Let us bring the fire to your event.

There is one oven, so we cater one event at a time, and dates go to whoever asks first.
