Pasquale Cozzolino (born 1977) is a Neapolitan chef based in New York, specialized in Neapolitan cuisine.

Early life

Cozzolino was born in Naples. He started learning cooking at the age of 15.[1] He studied at Ippolito Cavalcanti College in Naples, and he was a student of Gaetano Esposito, the great-grandnephew of the inventor of the Neapolitan Margherita Pizza.[2]

Career

He moved to New York in 2011 where he is the owner and chef of a Neapolitan cuisine restaurant.[3] [4]

Cozzolino has been the chef for New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio since 2018,[5] and a private chef for U2, Madonna, Muse, Coldplay, Eros Ramazzotti, and Laura Pausini.[6]

He created a diet with pizza, which he experimented on himself. In 2012 he began a diet where he ate a margherita pizza cooked according to the method of Neapolitan cuisine every day for lunch, losing 96 pounds in nine months.[7] [8] The concept of the diet is based on the long fermentation period of the yeast (more than 36 hours), which removes almost all the sugars from the dough.[9] [10]

He also worked as advisor for a project managed by BeeHex, a startup founded by NASA, to produce pizza with 3D printers. The goal of this technology is to duplicate the original recipe of Neapolitan pizza exactly.[11] [12]
