Italy is where it all began. From the UNESCO-recognized art of Neapolitan pizza making to Rome's al taglio revolution, working in Italy means learning from centuries of tradition. Over 63,000 pizzerias serve as the world's ultimate training ground for aspiring pizzaioli.
Where Pizza Was Born
Napoli is the spiritual home of pizza. Working here means immersing yourself in a tradition recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. From the legendary pizzerias of Via dei Tribunali to the new wave of contemporary Neapolitan pizza, this city is the ultimate pilgrimage for any serious pizzaiolo.
From Al Taglio to Tonda — The Eternal City's Pizza Culture
Rome's pizza tradition is distinct from Naples and equally compelling. From the crispy, rectangular slices of pizza al taglio to the thin, charred tonda romana, the Eternal City offers a different — and increasingly influential — approach to the craft.
Where Tradition Meets Design
Milan is Italy's economic powerhouse, and its pizza scene reflects that energy. Higher salaries, a design-forward food culture, and a growing international community make Milan an increasingly attractive destination for ambitious pizzaioli.
