Every year, the world’s most pizza-obsessed people convene for three days of cheese, competition and camaraderie in Las Vegas. 🍕
“You know how people go to Disneyland, or they go out to Aruba for the summer? This is my vacation, even though it involves work,” Testa said.
Paul Giannone, well known in the industry for his move from a career in tech to pizza in his 50s, told me about the time he almost missed an expo. It was the year after his first; he figured he didn’t need to go two times in a row. Then theowner saw friends posting from Vegas on social media and the FOMO kicked in. He got on a flight that night “and I haven’t missed one since,” he said.
All that was left was the crowning of winners for the cooking competitions. All I wanted to do was sit in the bleachers and watch. Next to me was, 34, the pizza chef of Peppina in Bangkok, who flew from Thailand to compete. He said he wasn’t even jet lagged. I tried to conceal the toll consuming mostly cheese, pepperoni, coffee and bread for three days was taking on my body.
