Pizza Talk: Massimiliano Saieva and Alex Manzo: The Roman Pizza Academy Part 1
Roman-style pizza, when done right, is destined to be the next big trend now that the Detroit-style wave has tipped over and found its footing. And when I say “done right,” I mean done the way Massimiliano Saieva does it. He and his business partner, Alex Manzo (of Manzo Foods) stole the show the past few years at Pizza Expo and The Northeast Pizza & Pasta Show with their breathtaking renditions of this al taglia style pan pizza, made with super high hydration, an airy crust, and gorgeous, exciting toppings. Massimiliano is the supreme artiste of this style and has been teaching hundreds of others how to do it, so let him show you some of his methods in this very generous Master Class, direct from the Roman Pizza Academy kitchens in Miami, Florida. Prepare to be astonished!
