About Steven B.
Chef, Founder
I have been in the food service industry all of my professional career going on 20 years with a focus on pizza. I truly have a tremendous respect and passion for pizza. The more I learn the more I understand that there is great responsibility in work that I do. My career pizzas began at a local pizzeria in San Jose where I worked for over 12 years and that is where I got my start.
It didn’t take long to realize that this is what I was meant to do as my life’s work. I have worked every position imaginable in the food services industry beginning as a Dishwasher all the way up to a General Manager, and to now Chef/Owner. I have worked at some of the best pizzerias in the area and have also had specific training from very well respected pizza masters in the industry. I’m still not done learning. I will continue to hone my craft so that I can share my passion with you all!

Established in 2020
Like many displaced workers in the service industry, we were affected by the pandemic. Instead of just waiting around for things to happen, we got busy and started baking pizzas out of the apartment. Things have gradually taken off from there.
