IT ALL STARTED
IN MY BACKYARD.
My name is Yasser โ known as the Pizzaiologist.
I decided to build a wood-fired pizza oven. Not a kit, not because I had any professional experience, and definitely not because I knew what I was doing. I just loved pizza.
So I started experimenting. I built the oven, played with dough, learned about fire, temperature, flour, fermentation โ and made a lot of terrible pizzas along the way.
There is something about an oven that brings people together. You make the dough together, everyone gathers around, and someone pulls that first pizza out. Suddenly people are laughing. Conversations start. Strangers share food.
That was the part I really fell in love with. It wasn't just pizza. It was what happened around the pizza.
