Roberto Caporuscio, founder of Kesté Pizza & Vino, takes center stage in the first episode of UNOX | The Next Course, a video series that explores the stories, passion, and vision behind remarkable culinary journeys.
From his early years on his family’s dairy farm in Pontinia, Italy, to learning the art of authentic Neapolitan pizza in Naples, Roberto’s journey has always been driven by a deep respect for tradition and craftsmanship. His passion eventually brought him to the United States, where he founded Kesté Pizza & Vino in New York City in 2009. Today, Kesté continues to welcome guests at 77 Fulton Street, sharing the flavors and traditions of Naples with every pizza.
The video offers a behind-the-scenes look at Kesté’s kitchen, where time-honored techniques meet modern innovation. Authentic Italian ingredients, fresh mozzarella made in-house, and a dedication to quality remain at the heart of the experience. Beyond its signature Neapolitan pizzas, Kesté also celebrates traditional Italian cuisine with beloved dishes such as lasagna and polpette (Italian meatballs), supported by UNOX cooking technology.
Throughout this journey, one mission has remained unchanged: to share the true art of Neapolitan pizza, preserve its authenticity, and inspire a deeper appreciation for the traditions that make it unique.
