awesome news. Good luck! Listen to the patrons, they will tell you what they like and don't.

Yum. Good pizza is worth it's weight in gold.

I should build an oven in my back yard for those hot summer days. I bet pasties would taste great in that oven too.

I wonder who else even knows what pasties are!!

P.S. What is that in your avatar? It has puzzled me forever it seems.

Ah pasties... Mother in law gets them every time we visit - and every time, we force ourselves to eat them. My wife is a born yooper. That said, I bet homemade in a a brick oven would be much better than the store-bought blandness

OP, the oven and restaurant look awesome! Best wishes for success and enjoyment!!

Nice shop. How many seats you running?

out here its no uncommon to run across an amazing restaurant with only 20 chairs in it.

I'll be out on Washington in February, as a former pizzeria owner I would certainly like to try some of your pizza.

If you are somewhere around Seattle I will have to give my patronage some time, it looks to be a very personal construct. This is the best pizza related thread I have seen in a long time!

Where? There's a lot of mountains out there.. Rockies, The Smokies, The Catskills ?????? Where might that delicious looking pizza reside?? Hungry minds would like to know!!, a reply to: slowisfast

You did an amazing job the oven is a work of art. Also you did what I have been wanting to do but afraid to. You inspired me to get off my butt and start looking for a place to make my own. I was a Chef for thirty years been doing office maintenance good job miss cooking for people. Wish you all the best thank you for sharing your story

Best of luck to you! Everything looks great, and I'm digging the penny-coated oven.

Looks great !! I bet you will be successful !.... A few words of advice that you can take or leave .....make sure you have a really good tax accountant ...you are eligible for,lots of write offs...and make sure you take them....also, do you own or rent the building ? If you own....separate the building and the business into 2 different corporations. And make sure you pay the budding corporation rent from your pizza corporation ...double pay in a sort . ....good luck ! If I make it that way, I will stop in....please pm the address if you can .

Good luck!
It looks wonderful.

Penny Pizza Oven!?!?!?

Where are you OP?

PS the waitress has great hair

those are some of the best looking wood fired pizzas I have ever seen, dude.

Without risk, there is no reward.

I've set up 1 business so far, and I'm about to start a second business. You have to take risks these days in order to get ahead. Most people are scared of risk, therefore limiting themselves.

Thank again for all the support. Long day. Crazy busy and very rewarding. Anyone in the in Puget Sound that's interested, PM me and I'll link you to the restaurants info.

Off to bed. Doin' it again tomorrow.

a reply to: slowisfast

Feel free to pm me if you need any advice on anything, I literally have done it all when it comes to the food business.

Again, cheers to you!

Congratulations!!!

Exactly the kind of place I'd love to hang out in!!

I know a few people out your way... If you pm me the details, I'll send them in

Maybe they'll ship me a pie!! Looks and sounds fantastic.
