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. The quality of the training and pizza was unbelievable—I had never tasted such an amazing Neapolitan pizza before. I’m now planning to launch an Italian pizza franchise and open several branches over the next few years. Thank you!
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. Francesco continued to support us after the training, answering questions promptly. For anyone starting a pizzeria or adding pizza to their menu, we’d 100% recommend him.
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. Francesco is a humble, passionate professional whose service is both personal and effective. He even performed at our opening night! If you want success in your pizza business, his guidance is invaluable.
