Anthony Mangieri: "This guy...makes the best pizza in the country..."

Without a doubt there are some incredible pizza makers who are totally dedicated to their craft.
One of the most dedicated is Anthony Mangieri.

Anthony Magieri is an amazing and legendary pizzaiolo. No question about that fact.

He makes pizza because he has a love of making pizza. He has passion.

He is a pizzaiolo's pizzaiolo.

Chris Bianco, one of the most celebrated pizzaiolos in the country had this to say about Anthony:

"I think Anthony does a great job...he is someone who is incredibly dedicated...I respect him immensely...he is doing something really important as far as a pizzaiolo... He really understands technique and old methods...."

Chris Bianco in an interview for Albert Grande's Legends of Pizza Series®

Here's what Jeff Ruby and Penny Pollack Authors of Everybody Loves Pizza said:

"Anthony W. Mangieri makes... pizzas:—and when the dough runs out, he’s done for the night. This guy is serious, he’s focused, and he makes the best pizza in the country."

I just want to taste his pizza one time. Then I want to shake his hand and thank him on behalf on pizza lovers everywhere.

If you see him before I do, please tell him thanks for me.
I greatly appreciate his mission.
