About Papa Gino's

Our Story

Papa Gino's was founded in 1987 in the heart of Naples, Italy, by our beloved grandfather Gino Moretti. He dedicated his life to perfecting the art of pizza-making, studying with master pizzaiolos from all over Italy. His passion was not just about food but about bringing families together around the warmth of a wood-fired oven.

Our journey from a small pizzeria to a renowned publisher of pizza recipe books is built on a simple philosophy: authenticity, quality, and education. We believe that everyone deserves to make incredible pizza at home. With our detailed guides, we empower home cooks to recreate restaurant-quality pizza using readily available ingredients.

Today, Papa Gino's is proud to offer five distinct cookbooks, each with over 100 recipes. Our team travels the world, researching regional pizza styles, testing dough formulas, and refining techniques. We also provide online support, video tutorials, and a lifestyle guide to truly master the craft.

Our commitment to quality extends beyond recipes. We source sustainable ingredients, partner with ethical suppliers, and ensure our books are printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks. We also donate a portion of every sale to community school kitchens, lobbying for better food education in America and abroad.

We invite you to join our family. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned chef, Papa Gino's books will transform the way you think about pizza. Thank you for supporting small-batch, taste-driven publishing. Buon appetito!
