'Dough master' joins Ambrogio15 pizzeria as executive chef
Piazza becomes Ambrogio15’s first executive chef since its opening in summer 2016 and steps into the role as the face of the creative kitchen where he will play a lead part in the restaurant’s planned expansion, both in terms of new recipes inspired by Northern Italy and future restaurant locations.
Coming from the kitchens of Padova, Veneto in northeastern Italy, considered the hometown of “pizza gourmet” where the world’s top pizza chefs have developed a style that inspired Ambrogio15’s menu, Piazza is influenced by names like Renato Bosco and Simone Padoan, a candidate for the first Michelin Star ever given to a pizza restaurant.
His most recent role as head pizza chef at the historic Trattoria Ballotta, founded in 1605 more than 400 years ago, aligns with Ambrogio15’s commitment to a long fermentation process and stone ground Petra flour during the creation of gourmet-style pizza. And also the sourcing from those using sustainable and organic farming techniques.
Piazza’s knowledge will be a key factor in Ambrogio15’s expansion, beginning with the restaurant’s second location opening in the Little Italy Food Hall, adjacent to the Piazza della Famiglia, this summer.
