Giovanni Cesarano
King Umberto
- Elmont, New York
pizza business never bothered me so
if I have to help service customers,
answer phones, or help make pizza
it's what I signed up for so I don't
complain. It also makes me appreciate
the workers who've been with us a long
time even more.
How did you begin
working in pizza?
I was 16 years old eating all
the food in the fridge and my
Mom said " if you're going to
eat like that you need to go to
work " so my Dad, who at the
time was co-owner of King
Umberto, gave me my first job
in pizza.
What is something uniquely
you've brought to the pizza business?
It's hard to be unique in a business where so much information is
shared and seen on a day-to-day basis.
With that being said my mother was
a seamstress growing up, so I watched
her make beautiful dresses and that
was always inspiring for me. We've
introduced some cool King Umberto
What's been the biggest
gear like hats, t-shirts, and jackets.
challenge in the pizza business?
What do you do to motivate
Finding staff has been difyour staff during these challengficult at times but it makes us

as owners work harder, which
I basically tell them we have an
I don't mind. Working in the
opportunity to make people happy
right now in a world where not too
many happy things are happening. If
our products and services bring joy to
people's lives with all that's going on
they should be proud of themselves.
What is something that you've
learned at pizza expo that helped
guide your business?
A LOT! I can't point my finger to
only one thing because there's been
so many, but every time I go to the
Expo I come out a more informed and
motivated pizza maker.
What area do you think you
need to improve on to take your
business to the next level?
Since the pandemic we've had an
increase in production in pizza sales,
so keeping the oven hot has been
challenging. Cranking up the oven
during peak hours and rotating the
pies properly so they get the right bake
is something me and my staff are currently getting better at day by day. We
also ordered an additional pizza master
so that should help us out a bit.
