United States Pizza Team

Nino Coniglio

Triathlon Winner,
Orlando Florida - 2009

Nino grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and has been making pizza most of his life. He won his spot on the team in March 2008 at the New York Pizza Show. He currently owns Pizzeria Del Corso in Brooklyn's Marine Park. He won his spot on the team with his pizza-spinning skills, but Nino's specialty is making fresh mozzarella cheese and traditional Neapolitan pizza – using the fresh mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes and fresh basil and cooking it in a deck oven.

Nino likes to spend his free time spinning pizza in the subways and the streets of New York City. He loves to show the public his pizza skills, and has attracted a lot of media attention with his crazy pizza spinning moves and authentic New York accent.

Nino won the U.S. Pizza Team's first triathlon in Orlando, where he proved to be the best all-around pizza athlete.
