Princess Cruises has announced another exclusive celebrity culinary collaboration, with Pizza Chef Tony Gemignani, the 13-time World Pizza Champion and undisputed greatest pizza maker in modern history.
Chef Gemignani has created five unique pizzas for Princess, each with an exciting blend of savoury flavours and premium ingredients from Soppressata sausage and hot honey to Gorgonzola and sweet fig preserve, further enhancing the line’s position as offering the Best Pizza at Sea.
“Princess is about delivering great experiences and there is no more important element than Pizza. While Princess has long been known for having the best pizza at sea, we decided to take it up an entirely new level with legendary Tony Gemignani,” said John Padgett, Princess President. “Tony is the ‘GOAT’ with unparalleled world championships, expertise, and passion for crafting the perfect pizza.”
Over the course of his career, Chef Gemignani has achieved 13 World Pizza Champions, two-time Food Network Gold Medallist, four GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles, and opened more than 30 restaurants. He’s appeared on multiple reality television series including “Food Network Challenge,” “Bar Rescue,” and appeared on the Master Class GOAT series, The Travel Channel and CNN.
“Princess is the original Love Boat, and its magnificent ships are known to all the world,” said Mr Gemignani. “Bringing my original recipe hand-crafted pizzas inspired by the destinations Princess visits to the world-class line up of culinary offerings onboard its ships is not only exciting but an honour.”
