You don't need a food truck. You need one Saturday.
You've made pizza that made people say "you should sell these."
Here's what nobody tells you: the distance between that compliment and your first paid pop-up isn't $40,000 and a trailer. It's $500, a plan, and three weekends of practice.
I built Tailgate Pizza off the back of a truck — twin wood-fired ovens, right off the tailgate. One video of that setup reached 330,000+ people, and the same question flooded in from every corner of the world:
"How do I start?"
This is the answer. Compressed, tested, and priced at less than two pizzas.

What you get (instant download)
📘 The Guide (8 chapters) — The complete zero-to-first-event playbook:
- The exact $500 gear list that produces real 90-second Neapolitan pizza (plus the $1,500 and full-spectacle upgrade paths, so you never overbuy)
- Permits Without Panic — the agency decision tree and the 5-question phone script that turns inspectors into allies. Works in any county, any state, any country: it teaches you how to find your rules, not memorize mine
- Food cost math, pricing models, and the hour-by-hour day-of run sheet
📊 The Launch Calculator (Excel/Sheets-compatible) — Enter your local ingredient prices once and it does the rest: true cost per pizza, gear budget tracker, pricing verdicts ("healthy margin" or "raise your price"), and a profit projection for your first event — including how many events until your gear pays for itself. (Spoiler: usually two.)
✅ The Launch Checklist (printable PDF) — 40 checkboxes from "4 weeks out" to "48 hours after." Tape it to your prep box. Work top to bottom. Sell out.

Who this is for
- The home pizza obsessive who's done practicing for free
- The side-hustler who wants a weekend business people line up for
- Anyone, anywhere, who wants to test food entrepreneurship before betting real money on it
Who it's NOT for
Anyone looking for a get-rich shortcut. The gear is the easy part. The reps are the business — this kit just makes sure every rep counts.

Why $7?
Because this is the starter kit, not the empire kit. It exists to get you to your first revenue — and a customer who's sold out twice is who I built the full Tailgate Pizza Playbook for. Start here. Earn your way up.

Common questions
Will this work outside the US? Yes. The gear, math, pricing, and content chapters are universal. The permits chapter teaches a *system* for finding your local rules — the same system I used, which transfers to any jurisdiction.
Do I need an expensive oven? No. The $500 build centers on an entry-level portable gas oven (new or used premium). Upgrade paths are included for when — not if — you sell out.
Is this instant? Yes. Files deliver immediately after checkout: 1 PDF guide, 1 Excel calculator, 1 printable checklist.
What if I've never sold food before? That's exactly who this is for. Chapter 1 assumes nothing except that your pizza is good.
