Igniting a Culinary Journey Since 2022

 

Brick & Ember began in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa, where in 2022 the first spark of a culinary revolution was lit. Founded by visionary creator Shon Brulleman, the original wood-fired pizza truck quickly became a community favorite—captivating crowds, elevating events, and redefining what mobile catering could be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Local Triumph to a Growing Legacy

 

What started as a humble passion for crafting exceptional wood-fired pizza soon grew into a sensation. Guests fell in love with the fast service, authentic flavors, and fiery showmanship of the Brick & Ember oven. The overwhelming response inspired Shon to take the next step—expanding Brick & Ember into a franchise model, allowing more communities to enjoy the experience.
