Winner of Pizza Maker of the Year at the prestigious Pizza Expo , Tony’s journey began in the heart of Pennsylvania, where his Italian heritage was more than a backdrop—it was the recipe. Raised in a family where food was love and pizza was tradition, Tony learned the craft not from textbooks or culinary schools, but from the hands of his parents and grandparents.

On This Farm, We Had a Pizza: The Rise of Wisconsin’s Pizza Farms 🧀 On This Farm, We Had a Pizza: The Rise of Wisconsin’s Pizza Farms By a twist of fate and a whole lot of cheese, Wisconsin may have just reinvented the way we think about pizza. Forget the deep dish pride of Chicago or the thin crust swagger of New York. Out in the rolling fields of Wisconsin, a quieter, tastier revolution is happening — and it smells like wood-fired dough and fresh basil. Welcome to the world of pizza farms. Yes, you read that right. Pizza. On a farm. It might sound like a joke — “Do they grow pepperoni next to the tomatoes?” — but the truth is even better. These farms don’t just serve pizza.

Chris Bianco: The Soul of Artisan Pizza When people talk about the best pizza in America, one name rises to the top: Chris Bianco . Born in the Bronx and raised in Ossining, New York, Bianco’s journey began with humble roots and a deep love for food. As a child with asthma, he spent hours indoors watching his aunt cook—an experience that quietly shaped his future.
