"Tony Gemignani, the world pizza champion, states, 'It was just different out here. We still had great pizza, but you had to really know where to find it. It wasn't on every corner.' His efforts have helped establish the Bay Area as a leading craft pizza destination."
"Gemignani has won 13 world pizza titles and is often referred to as the Michael Jordan of dough tossing. He has designed a pizza pin and lent his brand to premium pizza flour, maintaining a focus on core craft essentials."
"The Mountain View location of Tony's Slice House will feature a special New York-style pizza called Apricot Fields, which combines mozzarella, ricotta, and Romano cheeses with sausage and bacon, finished with Hollister apricot preserves."
California's reputation as a pizza desert has changed, particularly in the Bay Area, thanks to Tony Gemignani. He became the first American to win the World Pizza Cup in Naples and has since won 13 world pizza titles. Gemignani opened Tony's Pizza Napoletana in 2009 and expanded with Tony's Slice House, a growing franchise. His restaurants will participate in Bay Area Pizza Week, featuring unique offerings like the Apricot Fields pizza, inspired by his family's ranch.
