After years of hosting backyard pizza nights, and owning nearly every oven on the market along the way, Jesse set out to build something better: an oven engineered to enable a beginner to make an edible pizza on their first try, and a seasoned pizza chef to push the limits. Every detail of the oven was determined by Jesse with a purpose. "Making pizza outdoors is a completely different discipline than making it in an indoor restaurant kitchen," Jesse says. "Every detail, from the dual-burner system to the oven's geometry, had to be designed with that in mind." Jesse's mission is to restore and strengthen relationships built around the family table. Outside of the world of pizza, Jesse is an entrepreneur, angel investor, and seasoned investment professional with nearly 30 years in the industry. He has been married to his wife, Brandi, for almost 30 years and has three adult children and one grandchild.

Detroit style pizza might just be the easiest pizza you'll ever make in your Festa Oven — and according to a lot of people who know their pizza, it's also the most delicious. No spinning, no stretching, no chasing dough across a peel. You press it into a pan, pile on the cheese, and let the Festa Oven do what it does best. The result? A thick, airy crust with a bottom so crispy it crackles when you pick up a slice, surrounded by those legendary caramelized cheese edges that people will be talking about long after the party's over. This is the pizza you make when you want to impress. And the best part? It's almost impossible to mess up. ](/recipes/detroit-style-pizza) [FESTA](/) Engineered for your best pizza.
