– "Aim high. your dreams should scare you a little-that's how you know you're pushing the boundaries

What began in the cozy confines of our home kitchen quickly grew into a fervent passion. Tyler, our pizzaiolo, started his journey with a simple stone in our oven, cranking the heat to its limits and experimenting with every imaginable combination of dough and toppings. Night after night, our home filled with the aroma of fresh pizza, each batch better than the last. As our social media filled with images of our creations, friends began urging us to take our hobby to the next level. Inspired by the encouragement, we started selling our pizzas, initially as a small weekend venture alongside our full-time jobs. To our delight, every weekend ended with being sold out, spurring us forward.

The success of our weekend sales showed us the potential of what could be. We expanded our vision to include catering and events, and crafted our first small trailer to bring our pizza creations to a broader audience. An unexpected opportunity to relocate to the vibrant Hub of Kennewick presented itself, and despite our trailer still being under construction, we jumped at the chance. It was a pivotal moment that led Tyler to make a life-changing decision: quitting his job of over 10 years to focus on building The Pizza Box full-time.
