Tom & Margaret Peponis
Tom Peponis, born and raised in Gahanna, discovered his passion for pizza while working at Marcellas in the Short North and later sharpened his culinary skills at Harvest in Dublin. His wife, Margaret Peponis, moved to Columbus to attend Ohio State University and spent years as a French teacher before turning her lifelong love of food into a career. The couple met in 2003 and, combining Tom’s chef expertise with Margaret’s foodie flair, launched their popular food truck, Elevated Wood Fired Pizza, in 2021.
