Pizza masterclass academy, Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli, will officially open its Miami campus on Monday, January 20th. The intensive maestro pizzaiolo certification course load will follow the strict guidelines and curriculum of the Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli.
Students at the Miami campus will receive theory and practical training including learning the history of Italian pizza, the chemistry of Italian doughs, dough stretching, preparation of traditional ingredients, baking techniques as well as an overview of pizza ovens and mixers. Each professional pizza class will be instructed by a master pizzaiolo.
“We hope that Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli will empower Miami job seekers in terms of eligibility for kitchen jobs in Miami pizzerias and restaurants by providing them with instruction in pizza baking and foodservice fundamentals,” states Stefano Carniato, one of the entrepreneurs overseeing the opening in a statement. “The goal is to provide budding pizzaioli in South Florida with the skills needed to qualify for entry-level pizza baking jobs – and perhaps eventually go on to open their own pizzerias.”
Originally founded in Venice, Italy in 1988, Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli aims to train the future professionals of the pizza world. Supporting over 14,500 qualified pizza makers, Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli is the only academy that has certified the training path of its instructors and possesses physical structures with classrooms and labs equipped for professional training both nationally and worldwide. The teachers of Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli merge practical sessions with techniques, building a culture linked to pizza: flours, the supply chain of ingredients, and nutritional aspects. Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli encourages students to excel with their own style and creativity, and to be true leaders in the pizza space.
The courses at Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli range from the standard Level 1 Professional Pizza Making Course to more specialized courses such as Pala and Pan Styles, Napoletana & Contemporary Pizza Style, and a Gluten-Free Course.
Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli is located in Midtown Miami at 4421 NW 7th Avenue.
