How Tom Gozney Turned A Backyard Pizza Oven Into A Powerhouse Global Brand | Forbes Talks Shop

Founder, designer and pizza obsessive Tom Gozney joins Forbes Talks Shop's Kim Peiffer to share how a homemade backyard oven became Gozney, one of the most coveted names in outdoor cooking — and how recovery, ritual and design discipline have shaped his life along the way.

From getting expelled from school and entering rehab at 21 to cooking for community around a brick oven in his garden, Tom opens up about the turning point that helped him rebuild his life. He also breaks down how Gozney evolved from a niche pizza oven company into a premium outdoor cooking brand, including the story behind the Dome’s blockbuster launch and what’s coming next.
