Tony
recently discussed his win:
"This was one of my biggest wins... My pizzas cooked and tasted
perfect. I was told this was a first time someone has ever gold
medaled in 3 categories at the same competition. I spoke with
Enrico Fama organizer and founder of the World
Pizza Championships in Italy and he mentioned to me that he has
never heard of someone doing this. I couldn't believe it, I made
pizza history..."
"My oven and table skills judge was Luciano Passeri, famous for
making pizzas for Pope John Paul II and is a true
master in the craft.. I was a little nervous like any competitor,
but I was confident and he scored me very well..."
