The Business Of Pizza

It ain't easy.....

But if you love it, and strive to excel...it can be Art.  But even Art can be a prison.  After five years being celebrated as one of the top pizzaiolo's in New York City, and the country, this pizza artist / businessman has recently turned over his creation to another artist.

Mr. Anthony Mangieri started Una Pizza in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., where he worked to create pies as authentically Neapolitan as possible. In the fall of 2004 he moved to 349 East 12th Street. There, in his wood-fired brick oven he served four types of pizzas — white, marinara, Margherita and the filetti. There was nothing else on the menu.
