About the Owners

Laura and Christopher Young

It all started when…

A local mother-son team with Brier roots purchased Brier Pizza Kitchen in January of 2021.

Laura Young has owned and managed multiple restaurants both locally in Seattle as well as Santa Barbara, California. Prior to taking on the management of Brier Pizza Kitchen, Laura served as Academic Dean for a private academy for the past twenty years and brings a wealth of knowledge regarding managing people and streamlining systems.

Christopher Young trained professionally under the tutelage of Chef Juan Castrano at one of his award-winning restaurants in Scottsdale, Arizona before returning to his hometown of Brier to take on the role of Executive Chef of Brier Pizza Kitchen. Christopher plans to open five more restaurants in the next ten years in Washington and Arizona. While you may not see Christopher as frequently on a day to day basis as he launches new concepts, as the Executive Chef he personally creates and oversees the execution of all dishes on the menu.

With Laura’s history in management, Christopher’s culinary skills and their investment in the Brier community, they are far from new to the restaurant industry. They thoroughly enjoy getting to work together to serve premium Italian food to their community.
