Hi, I’m Cory, the pizzaiolo behind 5 Penny Baking. I’ve spent the last 20 years working in restaurants and honing my craft, and my passion has always been the same: pizza.

After years of learning the traditions of authentic Neapolitan pizza from a classically trained pizzaiolo, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering the technique, ingredients, and process that make truly great pizza. My goal has always been simple, create an unforgettable experience for every guest.

With 5 Penny Baking, I bring that experience directly to you. Each pizza is made by hand and cooked fresh right in front of your guests, turning great food into an interactive and memorable part of your event. Whether it’s a backyard pizza party, private gathering, or an intimate pizza-making class, I aim to make every event fun, engaging, and delicious.

Pizza has been my life for nearly two decades, and I’d love the opportunity to bring that passion to your doorstep.

Backyard pizza parties and private classes are available — reach out and let’s start planning something special.
