Giovanni G.

Business Owner

A third generation pizzaiolo hailing from Naples, Italy, Gagliardi was raised in pizzerias, picking up the ins and outs of the trade from his grandfather and father. As a boy not yet tall enough to reach the pizza counter, Gagliardi would pull up a chair to reach the counter and make pizzas on his own.  His talent quickly flourished, and people took notice as he participated at every fair, trade show, exhibit and festival in the surrounding areas, earning him the nickname La Leggenda by the age of 13. His passion rose alongside his deftness, inspiring the young chef to take on the tasks of helping to preserve the authenticity of his craft, and spreading awareness on the intricate simplicity that goes into creating traditional Neapolitan-style pizza. He has since traveled the world to do so and is thrilled to bring the knowledge and product to Miami with the US outpost of his thriving Naples eatery.  Gagliardi also won the Pizza World Championship for Best Traditional Neapolitan Pizza.
