A Belgian-born Italian, Palombino trained in some of New York's most discerning kitchens - Bouley and BLT Fish (where he earned a Michelin star) - before learning to make pies with Verace Pizza Napoletana Americas, a California-based training institute, international certification body and the official U.S. representative of the original, authentic Naples pizza...
