Priscilla Presley's Son Is Crowdfunding Pizza Dreams From His Driveway

Sometimes the best business ideas come from the simplest place—in this case, a backyard and a really good oven. Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, son of Priscilla Presley and Brazilian producer Marco Garibaldi, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $5,500 toward what could become his neighborhood’s next beloved pizza spot.

The plan is straightforward but ambitious: purchase an industrial oven and start selling organic, affordable pizzas directly from his driveway. The oven originally carried a $14,000 price tag, but Navarone negotiated it down to $8,500—and he’s already committed $3,000 of his own money to the venture. That leaves $5,500 to crowdfund, which tells you something important about how he’s approaching this: with skin in the game and a realistic budget, not just celebrity connections.

When asked why he isn’t tapping into his famous family’s resources, Navarone was refreshingly candid.“She loves the idea but I can’t ask for money for every whimsical idea I have or we both would be broke!”he told TMZ, referring to Priscilla’s support of the concept (and his confidence that she’ll swing by for a slice once it’s operational). It’s a grounded take that speaks to something a lot of young entrepreneurs understand—sometimes the best way to build something is to build it yourself.

Navarone, who’s also a musician, says he’s stepped back from performing to focus on this dream. He’s been dreaming of owning a business for a while, and the timing feels right. His vision extends beyond the driveway too: if the organic pizza concept gains traction in his community, he’s open to opening a brick-and-mortar shop down the line.

There’s something refreshing about a crowdfunding campaign that doesn’t rely on celebrity privilege, even when celebrity privilege is technically available. Whether it’s the quality of the pizza or simply the honesty of the hustle, Navarone’s approach suggests he’s serious about earning this one the right way.
