      Thanks so much for your kind words. I love your statement that you learn new things every day! That is exactly how I feel about pizza. As Chris Bianco said to me: "Pizza is something you can never master..."

      I'm Italian as well, Neapolitan to be precise, with a pizza culture inbedded in my DNA.. I currentely live in the uk, and having had a back ground as a pizzaiolo, albait in England i am seriousely thinking starting up a business like yours. I have already done some reserch into it, and it appears here in the UK such enterprice has not really taken off yet, and therefore i'm struggling to find the right resources to get things started..i.e. finding a supplier of a trailer or a van, kitted up as a mobile pizza cooking business..i was wondering if you have any suggestions that could help me in that respect..i'd very much appreciate that. kindest regards..Sergio

      Many thanks for your prompt reply..i am impressed!
      I very much appreciated you sending those links and i did have a good look at them. Trouble is i am here and they are there in the Us, and for the purpose of my enquiry, at this moment in time, they're only usefull placed in a larger picture, whereas right now my main concern is finding a supplier of mobile kitted units..i will try to contact Bella Napoli in Glasgow and see if he's got any contacts that could help me. But thank you for taking your time out, trying to help me. Sergio

      @pizzatherapy  Před 5 lety +2

      Great question. His Pizza Trailer was made by The Fire Within which may include his cooler and wash sink. I have sent your question to Vito. I'll answer as soon as he gets back to me.

    if you go to them for the training, do they continue to charge at all after that? how much are the ovens? Do they offer financing? thanks

    • @pizzatherapy
      @pizzatherapy  Před 6 lety +1

      Great question Benjamin. As far as I know once you purchase an oven you may go to a training at no charge. They do have a very active support system. The company is very involved with their customers well after they purchase an oven. For more information you will need to go to: www.firewithin.com/ Let them know Pizza Therapy sent you! Please let us know how you make out. pizza on earth!
