Are you eager to learn how to craft a true, authentic Napoli-style pizza for your pizzeria? If that’s the case, that’s great news for you since we’re launching an exclusive FREE pizza masterclass!
But why are we doing that?
The Italian city where I’m writing this post from right now has an interesting pizza-related story. Until 10 years ago, this small seaside city in Southern Italy had plenty of pizzerias, like any other similar Italian city or town.
Among those there were some fairly acceptable pizzerias, but most of them were a bunch of indistinguishable others. Pizza was of course pretty good in Italy overall, but if you were looking to have a taste of the REAL ONE, you had to go to Naples. No other options allowed.
The very best pizza in the city where I am writing from right now was far below the average in Naples.
But eventually, something has changed.
A new pizzeria, with a top class pizza chef from Naples, finally opened here. Its success was as fast as lightning, with never ending lines outside the doors. The city’s competition literally blew up. New pizza chefs from Naples arrived into the city and opened their own shops; even local pizza makers went to Naples to improve their recipes before coming back and opening their new shops.
Today, after just a few years, the city is literally packed with astonishingly great, authentic, Neapolitan pizzas.
And the very same thing is happening right now in NYC, and in all the US.
The quality bar is rising quickly: more and more top level pizza restaurants are popping up in the US. Today in the US we have greatly better equipment, electric ovens have surpassed wood-fired ones, and the know-how is rapidly improving.
This is surely great news for customers and pizza lovers! Nevertheless, the competition is getting stiffer for operators.
And it’s (also) our fault. Because we are raising the bar.
That’s why, together with the top Italian brand Moretti Forni, we are launching this game-changing Pizza Masterclass on September 7th!
