Pizzaiolo: Traditional Definition (noun)–A man who makes pizzas in the pizzeria

Pizzaiolo: Urban Dictionary Definition (lifestyle)— The business operator of a locally owned neighborhood pizzeria/pizza restaurant who can carry on the most intriguing conversations, helping customers without skipping a beat all while slapping dough.

The Local Pizzaiolo (pronounced piz-za-yo-lo), a new Neapolitan-inspired pizzeria obsessed with delivering high quality, authentic, and signature Italian creations, is opening four locations across Atlanta. Italy native and globally acclaimed Neapolitan Pizza Master Giulio Adriani will serve as the Master Pizzaiolo and will train the ‘local pizzaioli’ who will maintain quality and taste at the individual restaurants.

“We believe in the art of creativity without compromising the Neapolitan heritage. “The Local Pizzaiolo will deliver a taste of authenticity,” explains Giulio Adriani. “We want you to eat like you only live once and take pleasure from every bite.”

“Sauces nowadays are loaded with sugar and lots of things you don't want in them, but Giulio (makes something) very special,” says Dr. Mehmet Oz.

The Local Pizzaiolo will open four locations in Atlanta, two of which will open next year, including:

• • • West Midtown
    • Toco Hill
    • Sandy Springs
    • Madison Yards

Giving Back to the Community

The Local Pizzaiolo is pledging to donate “a piece of the pie” towards programs that support the education and empowerment of the next generation. In Atlanta, 10% of the retail price from every sale of the Local Pizzaiolo’s signature Jarred Peaches and signature Tomatoes will go to No Kid Hungry, a campaign ending child hunger in the United States. The Local Pizzaiolo will also be launching their Pizzaiolo Education Series, a training for select students from the Art Institute’s Culinary School led by Master Pizzaiolo and four-time World Pizza Making Champion, Giulio Adriani. Students will receive a certificate of completion and can earn employment as one of The Local Pizzaiolo’s premiere pizza makers/pizzaioli.
