Who we are
From Italy,
with experience.
At Richard Regalado Pizza School, I am passionate about sharing expertise in the art of pizza making. My courses cater to both aspiring home cooks and professional chefs.
I started as a chef in Italy and worked there for 22 years, opening my own pizza restaurants in the Vicenza area. Today, my London-based school brings that experience to every course and consultation.
