Under Roberto’s guidance, Mimmo received his certification from the Associazione Pizzaiouli Napoletani, the governing body of pizza makers in Italy. Over the course of his first year Mimmo was the recipient of the 2019 Caputo Rising Star Pizzaiolo at the infamous Caputo Cup. He was the Capo Pizzaiolo at the World Renowned Keste Pizza e Vino and is now the co-owner of Taglio Pizza in Long Island, NY.
