Making pizza at home is actually pretty simple.
If you ever look at the for-sale listings online, you'll see lots of pizza ovens out there. Condition: "Only used once."
Ever wonder why?
It's because pizza is easy--but pizza ovens are not.
Before investing in a pizza oven, it helps to first invest in pizza skills and a baking stone or steel and using the oven you already have.
One of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to begin the pizza-making journey is with a copy of Free The Pizza: A Simple System For Making Great Pizza Whenever You Want With The Oven You Already Have.
The book is short, a little silly, and it guides you to making great pizza at home.
Plus, the Kindle edition is designed for people who like paper cookbooks. It links to printable worksheets you can use in your kitchen. Whee!
Be careful. There's pizza ahead...
"I went from never having baked anything in my life to making an amazing cheese pizza and now I am not interested in boxed or chain store pizzas anymore! I can Free The Pizza!"

When someone asks me to recommend my favorite pizza oven, that's easy:
The oven that's already in your kitchen.
Learning to make pizza is a skillset all by itself.
Learning to use a pizza oven is a different skillset all by itself.
Jamming together the challenges of learning both skills at the same time is a recipe for throwing away a lot of ugly, inedible pizza.
By learning to make pizza using your home oven, your learning curve is faster, easier and less expensive.
No, your home oven's not sexy.
But the pizza you get out of it is.
Free The Pizza can show you how...
