Antonio, who previously ran a pizza trailer in Cambridge before moving to Ipswich, has a burning passion for food, with pizzas in particular going back generations.
“All of my family work in the food business. My grandpa was a cheesemaker, my father is a chef and my uncle has a pizzeria. I grew up working there as a waiter in the pizza section, so I’ve got a strong background when it comes to pizza.”
Antonio, like any chef, is a huge fan of quality ingredients, and harnesses both locally-sourced and Italian-imported fare.
“I’ve previously worked as a head chef in a few places across the country, so I really know and understand the tastes of England. I therefore try to adapt my pizzas to suit both British and Italian palates. It’s all about finding that culinary balance.”

The real genius of Dickens is that he even anticipated Christmas 2020
The man who ‘invented’ the full-blown Christmas still has lessons for our very little celebrations this year
Brian Conley as Scrooge at the Dominion Theatre
The annual Freeman Boxing Day Beano is off. Last year we were twelve at table – and one Pomeranian underneath. This year we’re down to six. “It’s a bugger,” I wrote to my cousin in (Tier 3) Edinburgh. “A Bah Hum-bugger,” she replied.
This is the Christmas of Scrooge before his redemption. Office Christmas party? Bah! Kissing under the mistletoe? Double bah! Nativity play? Humbug! Last Sunday was our church’s no-singing, no-dancing carol service. It was Ebenezer “Corona” Scrooge at his worst. In a mournful curtain-call address on Tuesday night, the actor Brian Conley spoke for everyone in pantomimes, Nutcrackers and West End shows. No sooner had the Dominion Theatre’s A Christmas Carol opened, with Conley as Scrooge, than the Government announced that London would be fast-tracked into Tier 3 and all theatricals cancelled. Charles Dickens, who so loved to put on a show, would have been the last man to turn out the lights.
