It's pretty simple. It's just pizza. No special oven required.
My mission: Saving you from buying an expensive pizza oven before you know how to make pizza. (Does that sound illogical?)
Want to make pizza? You don't need to buy a pizza oven. You already have one. It's the conventional oven in your home. Yes, you need to get few tools to make pizza. But it's by far the easiest, most forgiving oven around for making fantastic pizza.
Sharing the joy of making great pizza at home is fun. And the way we teach it, making proper pizza is easy--and can rival the best pizza you've ever had in a high-end pizzeria. This is pro-quality pizza.
With simple tools and a little confidence, you can make great pizza. Pizza is pretty simple. And you can do it. Simply.
Want your friends and family saying things like, "This is the best pizza I've ever had!" They'll do it. And they'll mean it. You'll love it. You'll even love making pizza for yourself when you're home alone. And once you start making pizza the Free The Pizza! way, you'll know that you can keep doing it and keep getting better--regardless of whether you ever get a dedicated pizza oven.

Who is Blaine Parker and why is he doing this crazy thing?
Over the years, I'd often tried to make pizza and failed. It didn't seem like it should be that hard. But it never worked very well.
What I found is that I lacked basic context and simple insight. For over 20 years, I've been studying pizza making, and I've been making pizza. By conservative estimate, I've made over 1,000 pizzas. That's not a lot for a pro. But it's pretty significant for a hobbyist.
I've owned a $7,000. half-ton wood-fired oven. I've owned a $300, pellet-fired portable oven. I've used professional ovens. And my favorite oven remains the conventional home oven.
As I've watched people who were buying expensive ovens and hoping those ovens would make pizza for them, I've wanted to do something. And that's how Free The PIzza started: out of an effort to save folks from dumping their hard-earned cash into equipment that didn't solve their problem.
The real problem is that first, you need to know how to make pizza. My book and this website are the solution.

Blaine Parker's Bio
Blaine Parker is the award-winning author of the beginner's pizza manual, Free The Pizza! (A Simple System For Making Great Pizza Whenever You Want With The Oven You Already Have.)
His book is a gold-medal winner in the cookbook category of the Living Now Book Awards. It is Blaine's first cookbook, and he's still a little surprised by it all. If anyone saw this coming, it wasn't him.
Blaine's been making great pizza in home ovens for over 20 years and often takes his show on the road. He has made pizza in home ovens from Los Angeles to New Hampshire, from Wyoming to Florida. Many of the people involved call it the best pizza they've ever had.
When he's not busy being the founding geek at Free The Pizza, Blaine is demystifying other complicated propositions. He is co-founder of Slow Burn Marketing LLC with his wife, The Fabulous Honey Parker, who is a novelist and his frequent co-author in business books. The Parkers have also spoken about the simple power of branding big to audiences of small business owners from Boise to Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur. They have eaten pizza in many of those places.
A national award-winning writer and performer, Blaine has done lots and lots of voiceover on TV and radio, including (believe it or not) national advertising for Little Caesar’s and Papa John's.
