It’s a man’s world, and even more so when it comes to the pizza-making industry; but that hasn’t stopped young and talented Giorgia Caporuscio from stepping in and claiming her (honorable) spot. Giorgia, daughter of acclaimed pizza master Roberto Caporuscio, is the general manager and executive pizza chef at Don Antonio and Kesté, four Neapolitan pizzerias in New York, where she works alongside her father. Giorgia is also a lead instructor at the Pizza Academy Foundation, based in the recently-opened Kesté Fulton location (April 2017), where she teaches the art of making pizza to adults and children.
