Princess Cruises has announced a new culinary collaboration with pizza chef Tony Gemignani, a 13-time World Pizza Champion. Gemignani has created five unique pizzas for Princess, and they will debut at Alfredo's onboard the new Sun Princess. The plan is to offer the pizzas onboard the rest of the fleet this summer.
Princess chefs have received specialized training under Chef Gemignani's guidance at his Tony's Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco to ensure they can replicate his hand-crafted pizzas at sea.
To mark this collaboration, Princess Cruises will attempt to set a Guinness World Records title on July 12 for “Largest Pizza Party” at multiple venues, featuring fresh pizza prepared by the line's master chefs, including new selections from Chef Gemignani.
Chef Gemignani is a highly acclaimed pizzaiolo, with accolades including 13 World Pizza Champions titles, two Food Network Gold Medals and four Guinness World Records titles. He has opened more than 30 restaurants and authored several books on pizza-making.
"Princess is about delivering great experiences and there is no more important element than Pizza,” said John Padgett, president of Princess. “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."
Chef Gemignani is happy to share his work with passengers.
"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 honor,” Gemignani said.
This partnership adds to Princess Cruises' existing collaborations with other celebrity chefs and experts in various culinary fields, further enhancing the cruise line's dining offerings.
