CAFÉ Talks Ep. 71 – The Life of a Pizzaiolo

Wednesday, 23 August 2023 08:18

Ah … there are few foods more gratifying, fun, aromatic, flavorful, and nostalgic than pizza. The world loves it, Americans are hooked, and 75,000 pizza entrepreneurs across the country are making a living throwing and spinning dough, topping it with San Marzano tomato sauce, topped with stretched mozzarella, olive oil and a touch of fresh herbs. Every town seems to have their pizzeria where local show-person pizzaiolos are dazzling customers with their ability to master their version of a classic “pie”. What does it take to be at the top of your pizza game, what does it mean to be “all in” with the craft, and what separates the good from the great? 

Join CAFÉ Talks Podcast for a chat with Master Pizzaiolo Leah Scurto from PIZZALeah in Sonoma, California as she gives us the “real story” about the craft that has become her passion.
