The Brownstone Oven

The Brownstone Oven was born out of LOVE…Kelly and Craig Brown first met snowboarding at Seven Springs ski resort. The couple quickly became great friends sharing a love for fresh foods.

It didn’t take long for the pair to become more than great friends, Craig who has had a long standing dream of owning a restaurant, and Kelly who has worked in and managed restaurants for over 10 years now decided that a “restaurant on wheels” would be a good option for them.

The couple loves to travel and experience different places and the gourmet foods local to the area. On their recent honeymoon the pair traveled to Portland, Oregon a place informally know as the food truck capital of the world to sample foods from as many of the trucks as possible. With so many options out there it was great to see the booming mobile restaurant business which hasn’t completely taken off in the Pittsburgh area. The Browns quickly decided that this would be the best option to serve up gourmet and traditional wood-fired fare.

Their love for travel, local ingredients, and a constant change of scenery would not be permitted by the limitations of a traditional pizza shop. The pair love going to seasonal events and festivals so they thought why not make this their living.
