Description

Send us a textGiovanni Cesarano is part of the new generation behind the legendary King Umberto on Long Island, New York. We last caught up with Giovanni in 2021 on the podcast when we shared with him that he had been named a Rising Star in the Pizza Industry. A lot has happened with Giovanni and the business. We talk about how he’s able to keep King Umberto’s top of mind in a changing New York pizza scene. We learn more about how the business has elevated and talk pizza styles. Giovanni remains humble in his leadership.In his Rising Stars Q&A, he was asked, what is something uniquely you’ve brought to the pizza business? He replied, “It’s hard to be unique in a business where so much information is shared and seen on a day-to-day basis. With that being said my mother was a seamstress growing up, so I watched her make beautiful dresses and that was always inspiring for me. We’ve introduced some cool King Umberto gear like hats, t-shirts, and jackets.” Check out that Rising Stars Q&A at https://pizzatoday.com/topics/people-pizzerias/rising-stars-of-the-pizza-industry/ .
