Giovanni Stincone from Garching wants to become world champion in pizza baking. He has traveled to Parma, Italy, where the World Cup is currently taking place.
More than 900 pizza makers from 55 different countries and continents meet in the Italian city. The Munich Merkur asked him how he sees his chances of winning the title and what he takes away from Parma. If I win, my wife, my friends and my colleagues in Germany will definitely have something bigger planned - like they did at the European Championships last year, he said. In June we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of our restaurant “La Pergola” - on that day we will celebrations the Pizza World Cup with us, he added.. The ingredients must remain top secret during the competition! The process cannot be compared to a football World Cup. Each category is baked once and on the last day the jury (consisting of 6 people) determines the places from 1 to 3.
