Sergio was born and raised in Lombardy, Italy. Coming from a family of Neapolitan chefs, which is where his passion for pizza originates. Sergio was cooking pizza from a very young age, assisting his father in their family restaurant, in which his father had for more than 20 years. So, it’s safe to say Sergio is very knowledgeable in Italian culinary arts.
Arriving in the UK 14 years ago, Sergio has brought the authentic Italian pizza techniques and expertise with him. Working as a chef and consultant in many restaurants and within the food industry across the UK, until joining White’s Foodservice Equipment last year, as a development chef as well as to explain and demonstrate equipment and share new recipes.
In January 2022, Sergio became a certified training instructor through the prestigious Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli. This means Sergio officially qualified to teach pizza making. Not only through well known traditional methods, but through modern and tested processes also.
We will have more info, on how to get involved on our website, very soon!
Even after all these years, Sergio’s favourite meal is a traditional Neapolitan pizza, he says nothing beats an excellently made margarita, with a simple tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella and a few well-placed basil leaves. However, Sergio sometimes loves to add a colourful mixture of anchovies, capers, and olives.
You can also find Sergio on our socials, if you haven't already. Whether it is his helpful tutorial videos or photos of his demonstrations, you will be seeing more of him across our social platforms.
