Without a doubt this was a life changing experience for me. I met some the most extra-ordinary pizza fanatics, I ever met. I learned more about pizza and the pizza business.
From the Pizza Expo website:
Pizza's Renaissance man, Tony Gemignani, will pass along some of his extensive knowledge during two presentations—the Pizzeria Concept Showcase and the Making Pizzas With Tony Gemignani workshops. His principal location, Tony's Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco, was recently written up as the best pizzeria in the U.S. by USA Today.
Part of the appeal is the extensive pizza menu featuring seven different ovens offering perfect temperatures for styles of pies ranging from New Haven to New York, Roman, Detroit, St. Louis and others. He also runs the International School of Pizza and has won numerous pizza-making and dough-spinning competitions.
