Testimonial From A World Class Chef




Introducing – Chef Franco!
“I have been in food since the age of 15. I have a passion for the craft of pizza. Started competing about 8 years ago and won my first contest in Avon Lake, Ohio as Best Pizza in Lorain County. I have four sons and 9 grandchildren. Born and raised in Avon Lake, Ohio and moved to Chardon to raise our children in the country. I love pizza and competing! Now semi-retired, I teach pizza and culinary classes at local schools and universities.” ~Chef Franco
Semi-retired with an influence on the word “semi,” he is still very much involved in the pizza industry and is currently working on a future endeavor to continue his legacy. Chef Franco is a big fan of kiln dried wood products for it’s quality and consistency. He is a co-founder and president of Gourmet Cookwood.
