Anthony Mangieri is truly one of the Legends of Pizza.
He has true passion and puts part of himself in each pizza he creates.
Peter Reinhart first told me about Anthony:
He’s dedicated to the craft of pizza making. He makes so much pizza and so many dough balls a day. When they run out, he closes. That’s it. This is what I do. He doesn’t sell anything except pizza there and you can’t even buy…I don’t think he even sells bottled water there. He says: It’s just pizza because this is what I do.
Chris Bianco says of Anthony;
Now, with this great fervor of…you know, like for instance, I think Anthony at Una Pizza Napoletana does a great job. He is someone who is incredibly dedicated and I respect immensely.
I think he is someone that is doing something that is really important in our industry as far as a pizzaiolo. He’s in New York at Una Pizza Napoletana and he is doing something that is really important as far as really understanding technique and old method and kind of time honored Neapolitan recipes.
