Jonathan explains his path to pizza and why he decided to pursue his goal of opening an authentic Neapolitan pizzeria in the mecca of Chicago Deep dish. While in Florence Italy on the Adriatic coast he was advised to go west…that is to Naples to learn all about pizza.
Jonathan believes he is part of a guild of pizza makers. You don’t learn to make pizza in a couple of weeks or even months. He feels his pizza making is always changing and he just wants to make pizza better.
He gives a nod to who he thinks are the greatest pizza masters in America: Roberto Caporuscio, Tony Gemignani as well as Chris Bianco.
Jonathan explains how he wants Spacca Napoli to serve his community, his customers and his staff. He talks his inspiration for the pizzas he makes and explains his excitement of being motivated by other great pizza makers.
He also shares some pizza tips for the home pizza maker and what has changed with his own dough formula.
Interestingly he reveals the secret of the digestibility of pizza.
At the end of our conversation he gives shout outs to John Arena of Metro Pizza, Michele D’Amelio, Giulio Adriani, and Roberto Carporuscio. And Vincent Rotolo of Good Pie in Las Vegas, Jonathan reminds us that he is part of a guild and is still learning the art of pizza.
