About Roberto Caporuscio

Roberto Caporuscio is an authority on Neapolitan pizza making, literally. He is the U.S. President of the Association of Neapolitan Pizza Makers, an Italian governing body that oversees strict adherence to traditional Neapolitan pizza making techniques. In this role, Caporuscio provides expertise to restaurants around the country and teaches intensive classes that are considered an investment.

When he’s not instructing others, Caporuscio heads up his own Kesté Pizza & Vino, which New York magazine heralded as having one of the city’s best pizzas. He is also partner in the critically acclaimed Don Antonio by Starita which he opened with his mentor Antonio Starita.

Caporuscio was a farmer and mozzarella cheese maker in Italy before he attended pizza school at age 37.
