NEAPOLITAN PIZZA AT LONDON EMBANKMENT
Over 300 pizzaioli (Pizza Masters) will set up their ovens and stands on the banks of the River Thames in London between the 19th – 22nd September 2024 as part of a grand promotional event starting in Naples (14th-23rd June), Milan (19th -22nd September) and finally the UK.
The grand Pizza Village, sponsored by the Coca Cola company and backed by Italy's Ministry of Tourism and the Italian Government Tourist Board ENIT will be aligned along a tract of the Thames Embankment and is expected to attract crowds during the three-day bonanza.
The Master Pizza makers will take turns at the traditional wood-fired pizza ovens especially installed for the occasion to familiarize customers with the unique taste of the genuine Neapolitan pizza.
The competition will be keen. The Neapolitan pizzaioli are up against a “British” pizzeria, winner in 2023 of “the World's Top Pizza” nomination - the renowned “Naples on the Road” establishment at Chiswick, London, owned by pizza chef Michele Pascarella from Casertana (Naples) who started out with a street food operation in his Ape Piaggio and now runs one of London's top eating establishments.
