At the Ragusa Off, San Giovanni area, the event that brings the best pizza makers in Italy to the capital, who will compete in round shots between temporary pizzerias, workshops and laboratories
Lots of news for the 2019 edition of City of Pizza. Starting from the location, which leaves Guido Reni District, to land in Ragusa Off, inside a former Atac bus depot, in the San Giovanni area. The weekend dedicated to pizzas this time will be from 12 to 14 April and the formula remains a mix between "temporary pizzerias", committed to churning out and frying the best Italian pizzas, and opportunities for reflection on the theme, from baking methods to yeasts , from styles to raw materials.
There are many top-quality pizza in Italy that will offer their pizzas for tasting temporary pizzerias divided into the following categories: "Neapolitan", "All'Italiana", "A degustazione", "Romana", "Al taglio" and "Fritta", to which must be added the space dedicated to "Fritti all''italiana", for a total of 12 daily workstations and three different recipes each.
In fact, every pizza artist has been called upon to try out a classic pizza, chosen between margherita and marinara, a workhorse and a special edition, created specifically for the event. Moreover, by popular demand this year we also thought about a gluten free proposal, which for the three days of the event will be signed by Diego Vitagliano and Sara Palmieri (10 Diego Vitagliano).
But the program designed by the organizers, a team of authors composed of Emiliano De Venuti, creator and CEO of Vinòforum, by the master pizzaiolo Stefano Callegari and by journalists Luciano Pignataro, Tania Mauri and Luciana Squadrilli, is even richer. Starting with lunches and dinners for four and six hands in the category "Masters in the Ferrarelle Kitchen" in which master pizzaioli and chefs will be challenged, some starred, who will make up their menus alternating dishes and pizzas, paired with Ruinart champagne.
The conference calendar is very rich, with laboratories and workshops dedicated respectively to enthusiasts and professionals and who will see the top seed of Italian pizza, from Franco Pepe (Pepper in grains) a Gabriele Bonci (Pizzarium), from Renato Bosco (Saporè) a Marzia Buzzanca (Percorsi di Gusto), just to name a few.
Admission is free, but the advice is to buy on the site the jumpers, which in addition to the advantage of entering quickly, include equal value in tokens, useful for paying pizzas and drinks in the various temporary stands.
