In Milan, the presentation of Where to Eat Pizza. We interviewed curator Daniel Young, Paolo Marchi and Franco Pepe, the pizza chef top of the list
The happy ending to a story with unpleasant outcomes (we wrote about it here and here) arrived a few hours ago in Milan. The presentation of Where to Eat Pizza (Phaidon, only in English for now), organised by Identità Golose at Alice inside Eataly Smeraldo. Of course there were Paolo Marchi, curator Daniel Young with some of the 1,077 experts who collaborated with him in selecting the best pizzerias in the world. But most of all, there were the pizza chefs, without any local division or territorial claims.
Paolo Marchi, Tania Mauri, host Sandra Ciciriello, Luciana Squadrilli, Daniel Young and Franco Pepe. The meeting in Milan also offered the chance to speak about La Buona Pizza (Giunti), a book by Mauri and Squadrilli, out on 6th July

Speaking of fine dining, will this blessed Michelin star arrive? We don’t know if what Young said was right, but it certainly was wise: «Pizza has never been so big. You don’t need the Michelin guide because you have conquered the admiration and respect of the most famous chefs». Bravo.
