Now, twenty-two years later, he&#8217;s a serious business operator and a mentor to a new generation of up and comers, and he wants to be known for his pizzas and not just his acrobatic skills. Hear all about how he added a new gold medal to his trophy case at this year&#8217;s Caputo Cup Championship, and how he&#8217;s teaching new operators the secrets for running a successful pizza business via the <em>Perfecting Pizza<\/em> training program that he and Tony Gemignani and other fellow mentors have created.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"x_Signature\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Season 5 Episode 1 - World Champion Siler Chapman Tells Us How He Did It\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wm4TMA66d74?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to a new season of Pizza Quest! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We&#8217;ve got a number of great interviews lined up and will be posting often.
