"Tony G., gave away all of his pizza tossing secrets" says Grande. "In addition to being a World Class Pizza Champion, he is also an author and pizza master. He gives an audio workshop on how to toss a pizza. He is the ambassador of Pizza. He has a featured role in Pizza the Movie and regularly appears on national television including appearances on The Food Network. He travels the world doing pizza exhibitions. I was lucky to be able to find him near a phone", quips Grande.
"Peter Reinhart, describes Brian Spangler as the next super star of pizza" explains Grande. "Spangler has taken his pizza making skills to the stratosphere. His pizza making has been compared to that of noted pizzaiolo Chris Bianco, of Pizzeria Bianco, located in Phoenix, Arizona."

"Brian Spangler explains his dough making process from A to Z. He shares not only how to make pizza dough, but what it means to have total pizza dedication", adds Grande.
