Listen to Davide Lubrano and Vince Gallagher, co-owners of Pizzata Pizzeria in Philadelphia on The Hot Slice Podcast with Pizza Today<\/h2>\n

This month Davide Lubrano has been named a Rising Star of the Pizza Industry. We sat down with Davide and Vince Gallagher, co-owners of the two-unit Pizzata Pizzeria in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

We talk about Davide\u2019s recognition and his recent pizza competition winning streak at Pizza Expo and in Italy. They also share the other benefits of competing.<\/p>\n

Pizzata is growing. They recently added a commissary. We talk logistics and equipment, as well as how it is helping the two Pizzata locations thrive, while also planning expansion.<\/p>\n

He and friend Vinny Gallagher \u2013 along with Davide\u2019s brother, Ciro Lubrano \u2013 opened Pizzata Pizzeria as a New York-style slice shop in Philly\u2019s Rittenhouse area in late 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ready to grow, they embarked on Pizzata Pizzeria & Birreria in 2024 with a spacious footprint, indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar and a full, expanded menu.<\/p>\n
