15+ YEARS.
A LOT OF PIZZA and FIRE.
Late 2000s | WISCONSIN
It started at a farmers’ market.
After a career change and chasing a growing obsession, Tom started cooking wood-fired pizzas at farmers’ markets across southern Wisconsin. What began as a passion project quickly became clear: this was something worth chasing.
After a short first summer season, Tom did what any reasonable pizza-obsessed person would do — he followed the weather west.
2014 | PHOENIX, ARIZONA
When Tom & Amras met,
everything changed.
The farmers' market circuit morphed into a full event calendar. County fairs, music festivals, pizza festivals throughout the Southwest — the operation grew and so did the ambition.
Eventually, they found their people: the outdoor sports community. Mountain bike races, MTB festivals, and private catering events across Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico became their world. Cooking outdoors in unpredictable conditions wasn't a challenge — it became a specialty.
"We've cooked in 110-degree Arizona heat when managing dough outdoors is a nightmare, in freezing temperatures where the dough just wouldn't warm up, and in Moab in the spring — wind, rain, 20 miles from the nearest store, and in hundreds of other locations. And the pizza still came out great."
That's the thing about 15+ years of cooking outside: you either figure it out or you quit. They figured it out.
2020
COVID stopped everything. Then came a decision.
Like nearly everyone in mobile food, their calendar went from packed to empty in a matter of days. Events canceled. Races postponed. The whole world on pause.
They took the time to think. And by fall 2020, they'd made up their minds: it was time for a big change.
2020 - Present: Crested Butte, Colorado
Home.
They'd visited Crested Butte for years and always dreamed of living there. The mountains, the pace of life, the community — it felt right. So they uprooted everything and moved.
Pizza took a back seat for a couple of years while they settled in… and breathed. An occasional event in Sedona kept the oven warm, but nothing public in Crested Butte.
Then the itch came back. And here they are — rooted in one of Colorado's most beautiful places, cooking with the same love and dedication they've had since those first farmers' market days, returning to the farmers’ market scene, and genuinely thrilled to share it with their community.
From farmers’ markets to mountain bike races across the desert Southwest - and finally home in Crested Butte, Colorado.
