Building Community, One Pizza Oven at a Time

I’ve always believed the best memories are built around a fire—especially the kind that cooks a damn good pizza. And now, I’m finally doing something that’s been on my mind (and heart) for a long time.

Every month, I’ll be giving away one of our 1000mm pizza oven mould to a community group somewhere in Australia. No catch. Just a simple way to bring people together—hands in the mix, bricks in the stack, and dough in the oven.

Why?

Because someone once gave me a shot when I needed it most. Years ago, I worked alongside John—the legend who came up with the original Pizza Oven In A Box cardboard mould. We spent years testing, building, and laughing our way through every stage of this product. He passed the reins to me a couple of years back, and as a single mum, this little business helped keep me going.

Now John’s over 90 and living it up, but we still chat—and I know this idea would make him proud. He always said, “You can’t sell a secret.” So John, here’s me shouting it loud: This is your legacy in action. Your mould, your idea, still bringing people together. And now it’s going even further.

How it works:

Each month I’ll post on socials, calling out for nominations. If you know a community group—whether it’s a men’s shed, a local school, a scout hall, or a bunch of mates who want to build something that brings people together—tag them. Nominate them. Tell me why they’d love this. That’s all I ask in return.

I want to hear the stories. I want to see the builds. I want to share the laughs, the mistakes, and the final pizza feasts. Because this isn’t about perfection—it’s about getting stuck in, together.

What you get:

  • A free 1000mm Pizza Oven In A Box mould

  • Support and guidance from me if you need it

  • The chance to create something epic for your community

And what I get?

The chance to give back. To keep the spirit of DIY alive. To honour a great mate. And to see more people building something they’re proud of.

So keep an eye on socials. The next giveaway will be announced soon. When you see it, tag your crew. Let’s get more ovens built, more pizzas cooked, and more people gathered around the fire.

Cheers,
Gin
