THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

David Paul Vella

Founder & mastercraftsman

The official team page identifies Vella as Crown’s founder and mastercraftsman.

The story & the craft.

Crown Cookware links its Etobicoke business to a family manufacturing history beginning in 1981. The official team page identifies founder and mastercraftsman David Paul Vella. Its removable-bottom cheesecake pans and traditional solid pizza pans make that history tangible: one family is designed around releasing a baked cake, while the other provides a solid aluminum surface for baking pizza.

Compare the selected pan's diameter and depth with your recipe and oven before choosing. A cheesecake pan's removable base is a different feature from a pizza pan's solid construction; neither collection is one universal size. Crown explicitly identifies these pan families as made in Canada. That statement does not establish the aluminum's origin or the manufacture of every shop accessory. The manufacturer's contact route can resolve sizing, ordering and factory-outlet questions.
