Alexander Kersten
Pizzeria Owner - Germany
In less than 5 months, I opened my Neapolitan pizzeria from scratch. This was a meticulous pizza consulting service that exceeded my expectations. With a detailed business plan, Francesco helped me save over €20,000 on equipment and unnecessary purchases.
Abi Goldbad
Pizzeria Owner - United Kingdom
Booking Francesco before launching our pizza concept was the best decision we made. He helped us with everything—from kitchen layout to sourcing the right ingredients. His training on dough-making has earned us a great reputation, and we still use his recipe today.
Ramin Khalatbari
Business Owner - Zimbabwe
We worked with Francesco to open our first pizza shop in Harare, Zimbabwe, back in 2016. The quality was instantly appreciated by customers, and we opened a second shop a year later. He’s now made three trips here, and more are planned as we continue expanding.
