Best Pizza in Australia

Best Pizza in Australia
Pizza making is serious business, with the best in the world recently gathering in Italy for the annual Pizza World Championship. Lucio De Falco took home the award for the 'Best Pizza in Australia' for 2018.
Local Sydney Pizzaioli Lucio De Falco took out the award for the ‘Best Pizza in Australia’ at the 2018 World Pizza Championship which takes place each year.

Lucio De Falco was born and raised in Naples. Lucio began working with pizza at the young age of 14. Starting from the bottom at his aunt and uncle’s pizzeria in central Naples and working his way up over the years, he has cooked in locations all over Europe including Rome, Corsica and Isola de Elba.

It was in Isola de Elba that he met a Sydney-based Neapolitan chef scouting for a pizza chef to work in a restaurant on Sydney’s North Shore. Lucio arrived in Sydney at just 21 years old, intending to stay for only a year – now, the successful owner of Lucio Pizzeria in Darlinghurst and Zetland, he has been here for 15 years and now calls Sydney home.
