Burkett knows pizza like dough knows marinara, like cheese knows pepperoni, like, well, you get the idea, Burkett knows pizza really well.We also know a winning team when we see one.
That’s why we are excited to announce that we are now sponsors of the U.S. Pizza Team.
You might ask yourself, wait, the United States has a pizza team?
The short answer is yes!
The long answer is that the U.S. Pizza Team was founded in 2000 with the goal of bringing competition and excitement to the pizza industry. Since its formation, the U.S. Pizza Team has participated in international events all over the globe, highlighted by the World Pizza Championship in Parma, Italy. Ranging from culinary masters to dough tossing phenoms, the Pizza Team renews the passion of those in the industry year after year.
“USPT brings together America’s best pizza professionals, who are awesome ambassadors of our great country and this great industry,” said Jameel Burkett, the company’s president. “We’re proud to partner with the U.S. Pizza Team and look forward to years of continued success.”
The team is captained by Michael LaMarca, owner of Master Pizza.
Members of the U.S. Pizza Team, as well as Burkett and thousands of others in the pizza industry will be part of the International Pizza Expo, March 19-22 in Las Vegas.
