roman-style pizza

Roman-style pizza is in a steady ascent across the country, due in no small part to the success of this week's guest, Rob Cervoni. Rob is a disciple of the acclaimed Massimiliano Saieva pizza tree, but is now forging his own glittering path. Many of you have seen him kick everyone's butt and become champion on Chopped in 2023, or saw him compete and showcase his work at various Pizza Expo's. Pizza Today named him a rising star in 2022, and now, it's all coming together for him at his Mineola (Long Island) pizzeria, Taglio. At Taglio, many patrons are experiencing the unique pleasures and joys of Roman-style pizza for the first time. Rob shares with us his journey of climbing to the top of the pizza mountain in this delightful conversation recorded at the Northeast Pizza and Pasta Expo in Atlantic City, NJ.
