Fregene’s is locking its doors to the public in January 2027! After January, I will no longer serve hot pizza to the public. Instead, I am transitioning into a private studio offering exclusive, one-on-one instruction.The name Fregene's will remain the same, but the services offered will be completely different. My secret to absolute consistency all these years was simple: I ran the shop completely alone, 7 days a week, from 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Over 17 years, I took exactly 5 days off—solely for a family wedding and a funeral. I personally logged over 58,900 hours on that line, and every pie that went out the door was stretched, sauced, and baked by my hands only. No staff, no partners. Just me.Now, it's time to pass my knowledge to the next generation of pizza lovers, from hobbyists to those wanting to start their own shop. The Vault is open. All of Fregene’s secrets, the trade's secrets, and my personal methods combine into an exclusive opportunity to recreate this pizza at home.I won’t just tell you; I will show you. You will see, smell, feel, and experience all things Fregene’s. I have preserved my shop—fully permitted and compliant for 17 years—as a living museum and learning center. It remains operational, waiting for you to book a private session. Learn to make my dough, master my sauce, or craft any signature pizza.I will walk you through the nuances videos or crowded seminars cannot teach. I don’t use trade jargon, hydration numbers, or gluten percentages. I show you how to make great pizza at home at a reasonable price. Get a jump on rising prices, beat the competition, or gift this to a pizza lover.These are private, one-on-one sessions behind locked doors using the exact equipment I used for 17 years. Everything I use—even commercial ingredients not available to the public—is accessible to you. Reach me at 707-762-7000, fregenespizza.com, or fregenespizza@gmail.com.Thank you to all my loyal customers over the last 17 years. I hope to see you in a Fregene's session in 2027.Ralph Dean, owner and operator of Fregene's pizza, and soon Fregene's pizza school and consulting.
