Michele Pascarella — The World’s Best Pizza Chef on Simplicity, Stardom & Staying Grounded

Michele Pascarella is the founder of Napoli on the Road and was named the World’s Best Pizza Chef in 2023. In this episode of The Tamp Podcast, he opens up about his journey from Naples to London, his deep love for football and the legendary Diego Maradona, and the beauty of doing simple things well.

We talk about the pressure of success, what fame has taught him and why the secret to his world-class pizza lies in the quality of ingredients. This is a story about passion, patience and holding onto who you are, no matter how far you have come.
