People always ask me what it means to be a World Pizza Champion.
I tell them it’s a global organization of pizzeria owners and pizza professionals who band together, sharing their collective skills and resources to elevate one another’s businesses and the industry at large.
There’s truth to that statement, but that’s not what this team means to me.
This is a brotherhood and sisterhood of people who think like I think, are inspired by what I’m inspired by, remind me of myself, and remind me of who and what I’m striving to be.
Thank you to my teammates and brothers, Davide, Vinny, and Ciro, for all the brotherly love and hospitality at Pizzata_Pizzeria this past weekend.
See you again soon, Philly. 💪🏽🍕

It’s National Chicken Wing Day, so we thought we’d show off our Limoncello wings!
We try not to cut corners here at Professor Pizza and that starts with our wings. We serve our “Whole Damn Wing” to lock in the flavor and value, and we consider the Limoncello our flagship.
They have that classic, lemon pepper flavor with a little extra zing on the back of your palate, thanks to a splash of Limoncello 🍋
An Italian twist on a Chi-Town classic!
One of three flavors only available at Professor Pizza Slice & Pie | West Town | Chicago 👈🏼
