Fiamme Pizza founder, owner, and pizzaiolo Scott Volpe has brought the gold home to Tucson once again.
Volpe won first place for the Individual Acrobatic competition at the 2017 World Pizza Games. He also earned second place in the Individual Acrobatic Masters Division, which featured previous champions from all over the world.

To catch Volpe perform in person, swing by Fiamme Pizza. His kitchen is a smaller stage, but he can still put on a show.
