Peppe Charonne - France
Our journey to discover Gianni Acunto ovens around the world continues in France, where Peppe – world champion of Neapolitan pizza and a point of reference for quality pizza in Europe – has just inaugurated his eighth restaurant.
In all his premises, Peppe has chosen a Gianni Acunto artisanal oven, bringing with him the warmth, the technique and theauthenticity of the Neapolitan tradition. In the first seven restaurants he installed our classic ovens, while for his latest opening he decided to rely on the new rotary oven, a solution that combines quality, comfort and functionality.
For Peppe, pizza is about sharing, emotion, and memory. And each of his restaurants retains the same atmosphere you'd experience in front of a blazing oven in Naples: live fire, craftsmanship, and an ongoing story.
The Gianni Acunto ovens accompany the best pizza chefs in their daily pursuit of excellence, with the aim of bringing the taste of true Neapolitan pizza to the world.
And we are proud to be part of this journey.
"For me, Neapolitan pizza is passion, simplicity, and respect for the ingredients."
WHAT DOES BRINGING AUTHENTIC NEAPOLITAN PIZZA TO FRANCE MEAN TO YOU?
Bringing authentic Neapolitan pizza to France means sharing a piece of my culture and my roots. It's not just a matter of technique or ingredients, but of respect for tradition, attention to detail, and the desire to offer an authentic experience to those who sit at the table.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE GIANNI ACUNTO OVENS FOR YOUR RESTAURANTS?
I chose Gianni Acunto ovens because they represent the excellence of Neapolitan tradition. They are built according to traditional methods, but with modern technical standards, guaranteeing consistent cooking, reliability, and consistently top-notch results.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL THE ROTARY OVEN IN THIS NEW PLACE?
The rotating oven allows me to maintain uniform and precise cooking even during busy periods, without sacrificing the artisanal quality of the product. It's a solution that combines tradition and innovation, making the pizza chef's job easier and always guaranteeing the best pizza yield. It makes recruiting and training bakers much easier!
WHAT DOES NEAPOLITAN PIZZA REPRESENT TO YOU, AND HOW DO YOU TRY TO CONVEY THIS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS?
For me, Neapolitan pizza is passion, simplicity, and respect for the ingredients. I try to convey this through every pizza that comes out of the oven: a carefully crafted dough, select ingredients, and perfect cooking. I want every customer to feel the love and dedication that goes into every step.
