An exciting new adventure begins for Gi.Metal and our delivery solution, RedBox.
As of this year, we are proud to be the official partner of Master Pizza Champion, a show created by Ristorazione Italiana, which aims to bring the art of pizza and its professionals to the big screen.
This exciting talent show tests professional pizza makers from every corner of Italy, challenging them not only in the preparation of a pizza, but also in their practical and theoretical knowledge of the secrets of the art of baking.
The aim of the show is to identify the most accomplished pizza maker from a shortlist of 16 contestants. The winner will not only be the most technically proficient pizza maker, but also the one who demonstrates that he or she knows how to handle all types of dough and pizza (classic, pan, peel, gluten-free, Neapolitan, etc.) in any situation, even during the surprise tests and pressure tests he or she will be subjected to during the episodes leading to victory.
A format that makes Gi.Metal the ideal partner to support the participants in an exciting challenge, in which the art of pizza-making will be celebrated in all its possible forms, declinations and flavours.
A choice that confirms Gi.Metal as the undisputed benchmark in the sector, with a wide range of products for pizza preparation of the highest quality.
From pizza peels to accessories for cleaning and tool maintenance, the company can provide everything a professional pizza maker might need.
A result that is also made possible thanks to a constant investment in research and technological innovation, with a particular focus on the design of ergonomic and reliable equipment, capable of optimising the pizza maker's work at every stage of the pizza-making process.
Evaluating the pizza makers in the programme will be an impartial jury made up of esteemed industry professionals, including technicians, entrepreneurs from the catering world and executive chefs, who will be called upon to express their judgement always in a constructive and stimulating manner.
It is their judgement that will determine, based on the outcome of the challenges, which pizza makers will move forward in the competition, leading to the proclamation of this year's Master Pizza Champion.
The show will air from 2 October and will be visible on Sky 913, Canale Italia 121 and live streaming on the website and on the show's official social channels (YouTube, Facebook) every Monday evening starting at 8.15pm, for six consecutive weeks.
The decision to broadcast on a Monday evening is no coincidence, as traditionally this day marks the closing of the restaurant business in Italy, proving to be the perfect opportunity to reach an audience of pizza and bakery professionals and insiders.
Also new this year, will be an episode entirely dedicated to Delivery, in which the competing pizza makers will be put to the test in the preparation of a dough specially designed to withstand transport. The winning pizza will be the one judged to be the best for flawless home delivery.
RedBox, our heated pizza box for home deliveries, with its unique features, will be an essential ally for our pizza makers, helping them to ensure that their pizza arrives at the customer's home as hot, good and fragrant as freshly baked.
We therefore look forward to seeing you watch from Monday 2 October to experience with us the excitement of discovering who will be the new Master Pizza Champion of this edition, which promises to be full of thrills and pizza challenges.
