Chef Gemignani has created two pizzas exclusively
for Princess, each with an exciting blend of savory flavors and premium
ingredients from Soppressata sausage and hot honey to agave pesto and fresh
goat cheese. He also provided recipes for three of his signature, award-winning
pizzas, further enhancing the line's position as offering the Best Pizza at
Sea.
"There was great excitement on board as
Princess Cruises set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the World's
Largest Pizza Party at multiple venues," said Callie Smith,
Adjudicator from Guinness World Records.
Chef Gemignani's recipes will initially debut at
Alfredo's onboard the new Sun Princess, adding to the greatest assembly of
culinary experiences at sea, with plans to extend to the rest of the fleet this
summer. Chef Gemignani personally trained Princess chefs at his famous Tony's
Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco and onboard Princess ships,
ensuring all five pizzas are thoughtfully prepared to replicate his original,
hand-crafted pizzas at sea.
Chef Gemignani is the most decorated pizzaiolo in
American history, an award-winning chef, restaurateur, master instructor,
philanthropist, founder of Slice House by Tony Gemignani, and author
of PIZZA, The Pizza Bible, and The Pursuit of Pizza. Born and
raised in Northern California, he opened his first restaurant in San
Francisco in 2009 – Tony's Pizza Napoletana – offering several styles of
pizzas including Classic American, Italian, Sicilian and Neapolitan, artfully
made with artisan flours, an array of authentic sauces, and seasonal
ingredients, and finished in seven different, regionally-specific ovens. The
restaurant was met with immediate success upon opening and was named the best
pizzeria by USA Today and top pizza restaurant by the Travel
Channel.
"Princess is about delivering great
experiences and there is no more important element than Pizza. While
Princess has long been known for have the best pizza at sea, we decided to take
it up an entirely new level with legendary Tony Gemignani and also
set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title in the process," 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 Medalist, four
GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS titles/records 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. https://tonygemignani.com/
"Princess is the original Love Boat and its
magnificent ships are known to all the world," said Chef Gemignani.
"Bringing my original recipe hand-crafted pizzas inspired by the
destinations Princess visits, to the world-class line up of culinary offerings
onboard their ships is not only exciting but an honor."
The new Chef Gemignani-designed pizzas will take
center stage at Alfredo's and Gigi's specialty pizzerias, charming, sit-down
venues offering an enticing menu of freshly prepared, individual-size pizzas,
salads, wine and beer and more, and voted "Best Pizza at Sea"
by USA Today, as well as the complimentary Slice locations found on
the Lido Deck of Princess ships.
Princess is now a two-time GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS title/record holder having broken a Guinness World Record for
hosting the largest marriage vow renewal ceremony in multiple venues on 11
February 2020 after 1,443 couples participated onboard three ships.
Similarly, Chef Gemignani, who was part of the previous record for
"World's Largest Pizza Party" set in 2023, is now a four-time
Guinness World Record holder, including "World's Longest Pizza,"
"Most People Tossing Pizza Dough at Once," "Largest Pizza Base Spun
in Two Minutes," and "Most Consecutive Pizza Rolls Across the
Shoulders in 30 Seconds."
