KettlePizza app for iPhone and iPad

KettlePizza founder, Al Contarino, is an inventor who had a passion for grilling. That passion, however, was often frustrated whenever a grill lid was opened or removed and all the stored heat lost, stalling the cooking process. So, in 2005, he started developing a new type of gas grill that maintained the heat despite an open lid. Countless hours and a substantial amount of money went into the patented design in hope of licensing to a major grill manufacturer. Five years later, after Al became completely frustrated with the challenges of the licensing process, he decided to focus his efforts on developing a product that he could design, manufacture and market completely on his own. This new product was KettlePizza.

KettlePizza has grown and now is shipping products around the world. We have expanded our product line into pizza accessories as well as products for the gas grill market. Proud to be a “net exporter,” we’re helping to balance the U.S. trade deficit. We believe manufacturing in the United States is still, and has always been, very important. Over the years, there has been a steady decline in manufacturing jobs, and fewer and fewer people look to manufacturing for future employment. One big problem is that manufacturing is directly connected to design, engineering and innovation. In our opinion, innovation is one of the things that makes our country great and one of the things that will keep our economy growing. We feel that staying committed to American manufacturing will help our country. It is our way of giving back.
