GENNARO FARINA, PIZZAIOLO

A Neapolitan settled on rue des Moulins, in the historic heart of Fréjus, Gennaro Farina runs his pizzeria the way he competes: by hand, without a timer, reading the embers by eye. At the World Pizza Trophy in Menton, in November 2025, he finished 6th overall among sixty international competitors — runner-up in speed pizza, 3rd in pizza in teglia, 9th in classic pizza. Before that: 4th at the Las Vegas World Championship and 12th worldwide — 2nd Frenchman — in Parma.
