Tom's Story | Gozney

"I wasn't a designer. I wasn't a CEO. At 21 I was kicked out of school. Fresh out of rehab. I poured myself into cooking, and built a pizza oven in the backyard. It changed my life. In fact, it probably saved it."
- Tom, Founder & Designer (@tomgozney)
This is Tom's story. This is our story. For us, cooking with fire and creating food can be life changing. Tom telling his story is no small feat, especially when the world today can be so impersonal. This is why we hope Tom's story inspires others around the world.

Love to have met you my bro 😎 and now let’s got something huge done ✅

[@nigelvansloun3700]

Amazing story! The fact I am in the same state of mind and want to build a better life for myself and my loved ones with one of your products motivates me even more now. Thanks for sharing.

[@georgegalea1937]

My Roccbox brings a lot of happiness into my life. It’s as simple as that. That you Mr Gozney.

[@michaelriddell2881]

Such an easy person to root for! New Dome owner here, love the product and the brand and the person behind it all!

[@markanderson2713]

Shit Man! I can relate to your struggles in my own life. I’m so glad that I own 2 of your ovens. I purchased my Rocc Box about 3 years ago and I gave that to my daughter because I purchased my Gosney dome this year. I LOVE ALL YOUR PRODUCTS. Keep it going man you are a success story that humbles me.

[@WorldOfWeber]

Great story, Tom! We love working with Gozney - long may it continue!

[@dannmetal6459]

How can you not like this guy? How can you not like his products? The humility, the passion, the desire to make the cooking world a better place when done outdoors. Once I get some cash, I'll be buying a Gozney product. I reckon the dome is a game-changer. Well done, Tom.

[@jamesnn99]

Wow, what an inspiration!

[@kateralton365]

Your love for your parents really comes through, Tom, they must be wonderful people. So glad you survived and that Gozney ‘allows people to invest in a lifestyle they didn’t have before, which can fundamentally change the way they live’

[@JohnnyStyle69]

Thank you for your love! Love my rockbox!

[@jeancooper7900]

Tom such a powerful testimony and a truly remarkable journey… 🤗

[@gkhaled1]

I said it before, it’s always great to see Tom in these videos. To have a video like is even better. What a story! I’d love to see more about how he designed the ovens and see more pictures of prototypes and early products. Love my Dome and no matter how ugly things look going in it they always come out so perfect lol

[@chrismackanich837]

Incredible story and incredible products. I love cooking everything in my Roccbox and Dome! Thank you Tom!

[@DavidHooton]

Amazing product. Absolutely love the quality and the vision it comes from. You’ve definitely reignited my love of cooking with fire.

[@coljar100]

WHat an incredible story Tom. thank you for sharing... love this channel for a couple of years now....

[@laurentsrey8711]

What a journey man. I felt in love with the roccbox for its ability to cook such good pizzas to share some high quality moments with friends and family. Knowing a bit more about your story makes it even more special. Thank you sir for your dedication and hard work. 💜

[@pianonapolipizzatruck2268]

Thank you to much Tom..

[@CountryWoodSmoke]

Mate, you're a great guy, thank you for sharing your story...oh and you have the best laugh

[@jamieroberts3682]

I want to buy a Roccbox. Especially after hearing your story, there's nothing better than a self made man!

[@adamg.manning6088]

A living man is better than a “self made man”. Tom’s success is great, but thank goodness he didn’t self destruct first.

[@juancervantes313]

This is awesome. I'm currently saving up for an arc XL and finally start learning how to make great pizza and hopefully start my own business and honestly It wouldn't even be a possibility with out you. You're an inspiration.

[@auldtonstoves2996]

What a story! We are very proud to be Gozney Partners. Keep up the amazing work.

[@pjbrewer56]

Good for you! No one deserves it more. Quite a battle, but you have won! I always knew you would be a succes. I was an early adopter on Indiegogo. Fantastic oven!

[@davidv1612]

Well done Tom. For everything so far and everything yet to come.

[@planetfriendlyfirewood]

Cooking outdoors led us to our business too, so we totally get it. But your journey is incredible - inspring bro!

[@StereoChimps]

finally i found out the creator of this masterpiece, im from Brazil and havent seen a gozney here, one day wish i could get my hands on one of the best ovens out there!

[@michaelh5722]

If Tom can overcome that, surely he can overcome the logistical challenge of getting the Roccbox and Dome to New Zealand.

[@MrStevenp123]

Remember the old you well mate. Massive turn round and amazing achievement 🎉legend

[@mikeandroi2698]

Great story, great journey you shared, great ovens.... (I own a Dome)

[@Bayshore958]

Dough starts on Tuesday and pizza party Friday night. Epic luck getting on the initial launch of the dome in Canada earlier in 2022. Absolute beast of an oven.

[@smoothboothe]

I didnt know the story behind Gozney until today. Im even more happy with my Roccbox knowing the ethos behind it!

[@MitchPhillips]

What a story, what a journey. New Roccbox owner and loving it. Gozney is the cooking equivalent of Brand and product design.

[@MartinSternbergs]

Love this. Can’t wait to be able to afford to have one of these myself.

[@cheeze_pizza]

Wow! Thanks for sharing your story! Roccbox + Dome = Happy people 🔥🔛 Tom!!!

[@bilgolaj]

Great Work Tom, have built my own outdoor Pizza oven and have a Roccbox too and inspired by you and all of your amazing ambassadors to explore and improve my Pizza and all the recipes which are popping up - Thank you

[@TheAkaJam]

Inspiring story🙌🏻🔥 and love the passion and stoke!!

[@fabear8718]

Amazing journey, remarkable recovery! 👏

[@williamgardner8301]

🔥🔥🤘👊🧡

[@jagavi9822]

Salute

[@Itsnotgoodatall]

This is all feel good and great for him sorting himself out, but the dome launch although has been a success for them. For everyone that bought one they still haven’t delivered the ash box and they still don’t have a full range of add ons that the dome was sold with before launch. It’s really a shambles

[@gozney]

Hi there, we're sorry you feel this. We have now launched the Dome Door, Steam Injector, Wood Rack, in UK, US and AUS with more accessories following next year. We are also finalising arrangements for the second Dome ashtray and expect to be in touch with all customers waiting with further details in the coming months. Thanks.

[@damiandayton832]

I would love to see a version of this commercial that starts at this point: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6bXpaisZbR1bK8. I love my dome, and I love was Gozney is doing.
