Our delightful journey begun as the unexpected nature of life, unified the passion and experience of our founding chefs. Born and raised in two prominent southern regions of Italy, Massimiliano and Giovanni developed their culinary career as a tasteful celebration of their hometowns’ organic grandeur.
Master Pizzaiolo, Massimiliano Stamerra, grew up in the distinguished Italian region of Puglia, led by significant olive oil production and the influence of the extensive Mediterranean Sea coast. Stamerra developed the ability to create unique artisanal doughs through the combination of various culinary experiences.
To complement Massimiliano’s urban take on his handcrafted pizzas, Chef Giovanni, introduced the flavors of his home through a variety of charming Italian dishes. Transcending every land and every ocean, Giovanni brought Sicily in his exquisite plates that allow all of us to experience an enjoyable journey through the flavors of Italy.
At Gioia, we celebrate the union of passion. For this reason, we offer an intricate selection of recipes that illustrate the incredible journey of passionate gastronomy.
