Princess Cruises to Attempt Guinness Record with Famed Pizza Chef Tony Gemignani
Princess Cruises has announced a new exclusive celebrity culinary collaboration, with famed Pizza Chef Tony Gemignani. Chef Gemignani has created five new unique pizzas for Princess Cruises ships. To mark the new collaboration, Princess will attempt to set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title on July 12, for the Largest Pizza Party at multiple venues with pizza prepared by the line’s master chefs, including the new selections from Chef Gemignani.
Chef Gemignani’s collection of five artisan hand-crafted pizzas will first debut at Alfredo’s onboard Sun Princess, with plans to extend to the rest of the fleet this summer. Each pizza features an exciting blend of savory flavors and premium ingredients, from Soppressata sausage and hot honey to Gorgonzola and sweet fig preserve. Princess chefs will receive specialized training under the guidance of Chef Gemignani from his acclaimed Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco ensuring they can masterfully replicate his original, hand-crafted pizzas at sea. The new pies will be found on the menus at Alfredo’s and Gigi’s pizzerias.
“Princess is about delivering great experiences and there is no more important element than Pizza. 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,” said John Padgett, Princess President. “Tony is the ‘GOAT’ with unparalleled world championships, expertise and passion for crafting the perfect pizza.”
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. 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, and opened more than 30 restaurants.
“Princess is the original Love Boat and its magnificent ships are known to all the world,” said Gemignani. “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.”
The new partnership adds to an impressive roster of celebrity collaborations that Princess Cruises has cultivated. Other recent collaborations Dario Cecchini, Makoto Okuwa, Rob Floyd, Romero Britto, Gerard Bertrand, Darren McGrady, Tyra Banks, and Rudi Sodamin.
