#ICYMI, the Providence Journal featured a nice profile this week of #RICalum Billy Manzo ‘87, and his quest for the “Holy Grail of pizza.” Billy is the owner of federalhillpizza in #Providence – right down the street from his alma mater – and the state’s only certified “master pizzaioli.” 🍕🍕🍕 “Billy talks of frequent visits to Italy to study pizza like a science, yet he comes across as just a guy from the neighborhood. That’s why he opened his restaurant in Chalkstone Avenue’s old Castle Theater – he grew up nearby.” 🍕🍕🍕 “He says [being a master pizzaioli is] more than just being certified through classes in Italy’s Neapolitan pizza style. ‘It’s a belief,’ says Billy. ‘A standard. A culture. Dough at a certain temperature, certain hydration. A certain tomato. A certain cheese. You have to know the foundation.” 📸x provjournal . . . #RICnews #RICspirit #RICalumni #rhodeislandcollege #pizza #chef #projo #providencejournal #federalhillpizza #alumni #successstory #pizzamaking #friday...
