Steve Owens

Pizza Aficionado

Steve worked for many years at a non-profit in a role as bizarre as it was boring. For the majority of those many years, Steve moonlit at Table, Donkey & Stick, primarily assisting servers and manning the stump. In 2019, Steve began screwing around with crust at home. In 2022, he began screwing around with crust in a part-time professional capacity. In 2023, he took crust on full-time.

In 2025, Matt let Steve take over the kitchen Table, Donkey & Stick. On this evening, Steve made pizzas for people.  People indicated they liked the pizzas. The next day, Matt asked Steve if he’d be interested in making pizzas for people inside the Sterling Food Hall. Perhaps, Matt mused, the people there might like the pizzas, too. Steve figured it couldn’t hurt to see. Then there was Dada.

Steve hails from Cleveland, has lived on coasts East and West. He is a fan of Cleveland sports but not so much the Browns. He has a fiancé and cat and could do neither lyrical justice. He holds a film degree, owns a couple of books. He was shaving his before he went bald.
