Ciao! I'm
I am a pizzaiolo, consultant and instructor! 🍕
I started making pizza when I was a kid, under Mamma's watchful eye, and I have baked a lot of pizzas since.
I was always obsessed with pizza, to the point where I quit my corporate job and went to work at the pizzeria full time. To be honest, my ultimate goal was to eat pizza every day for the rest of my life! Luckily, it turned out I was learning pretty well, and knowing that I was making loads of people happy was extremely fulfilling.
I worked in 4 restaurants, both in Italy and in London, moving all the way from the position of "that-newbie-we-just-hired" to that of Head Chef 👨🍳
As I truly believe that you never know enough and there's always something new you can learn, I never stopped studying pizza making: I still listen to pizza Maestros, buy courses, attend masterclasses and read many, MANY books.
I also wrote two books myself: Fabioulous Pizza is the handbook for the beginner home-pizzaiolo, and The Fabioulous Story of Pizza is a novel about, well, the history of pizza. They both became Amazon Best Seller on launch's day 🚀
I left the restaurant a while back, but pizza still puts food on my table - pun intended!
In fact, I teach pizza making to people in person (Pros only), remotely and via my Fabioulous Video Course.
During the years, I was featured on several websites & podcasts, including CNN Travel and PMQ Pizza Magazine.
Besides pizza, I also like cooking in general, electronic music, 80s pop culture, fantasy books, horror movies, retrogaming, eating gelato, a good conversation with myself, football, cats (especially mine), videos of insects fighting and, like every good calabrese, the sea!
