Milan celebrates contemporary pizza: three evenings of love between doughs, emotions and territories
From May 5-7, Milan transforms into the beating heart of signature pizza with three unique evenings where technique and creativity come together in a romantic narrative of flavors, traditions and shared passions. On the occasion of TuttoFood 2025, the city will host a multisensory journey into the world of contemporary pizza, among contaminations, seasonality and stories to be savored clove by clove.
🍅 Monday, May 5 | Modus – “Four Shades of Red”
In the refined heart of Corso Magenta, Modus opens the dances with a passionate tribute to the tomato, the eternal symbol of Italian cuisine. Paolo De Simone, a pizzaiolo from Cilento and modern interpreter of the Mediterranean Diet, leads an evening that speaks the language of love and the earth: four different visions to tell the red soul of pizza, among regional varieties, bold cooking and daring combinations.
He is joined by:
– Emanuele Riemma (Maiori, Cagliari) with his Mediterranean elegance;
– Domenico Fortino (Wip, Nocera Inferiore), an experimenter with a Neapolitan heart;
– Antonio Tancredi (Diametro 3.0, Casoria), a young Neapolitan talent between instinct and technique.
An evening that unites North and South in a tale of scents, emotions and memories, in which every pizza becomes poetry.
🌿 Tuesday, May 6 | Cocciuto – “Seasonal Authors”
On Melzo Street, amid design and contemporary suggestions, Cocciuto hosts its second event. Here, pizza becomes a seasonal tale, a hymn to raw materials, time and care. Three protagonists, three styles, one philosophy: respect, technique, feeling.
Featuring:
– Umberto Calemme, master of balance and refinement;
– Raffaele Bonetta, author of doughs full of personality;
– The Caporale brothers, custodians of taste between memory and innovation.
Each creation will be a sensory tale that celebrates the present of gourmet pizza in Milan and imagines its future, including textures, temperatures and shared visions.
❤️ Wednesday, May 7 | Biga – “Aces of Heart”
Biga, an iconic place of signature leavening, closes the cycle. The final evening, evocatively titled “Aces of Heart,” is an ode to emotion: four pizza makers, four stories, four hearts beating in unison for a pizza that is gesture, memory, passion.
The protagonists:
– Simone Nicolosi, resident chef, ambassador of essential taste;
– Angelo Pezzella (Rome), authoritative face of the Capitoline scene;
– Francesco Esposito (Grosseto), interpreter between Tuscan rigor and Neapolitan soul;
– Claudio Abbate (Giugliano), pure artisan of roots.
An evening for those who believe that pizza is not just a dish, but a declaration of love to be shared, a caress that tastes of home and truth.
đź’« Three dates, three atmospheres, one city: Milan becomes the spokesperson for the Italian white art, with unmissable events for those who love pizza d’auteur, conviviality and stories to taste. The project is implemented with the support of Perrella Network e Solania, realities of excellence in the Italian agrifood supply chain, and with the creative direction of Carbot Communication
