Chopped Champion to Roman Pizza Master: Rob Cervoni’s Taglio Journey | Ep 4

What happens when a Food Network Chopped winner sets his sights on mastering the perfect Roman slice? In this episode, we are joined by the incredibly talented Rob Cervoni, the visionary behind Taglio—Long Island’s premier Roman-style pizzeria.

Rob isn't just a TV champion; he is one of the top Roman-style pizzaiolos in the country. Having trained under the legendary Massimiliano Saieva, Rob brought the authentic "Pizza al Taglio" technique to Mineola, New York, earning him a spot on Pizza Today magazine's prestigious "Rising Stars of Pizza" list.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

✅ The Roman Revolution: How Rob introduced Long Island to its first and only authentic Roman-style pizzeria.

✅ The "Chopped" Experience: What it’s really like to compete (and win!) on the Food Network.

✅ Mentorship & Mastery: Rob’s journey training under Massimiliano Saieva and the dedication required to perfect the craft.

✅ Expansion: The success of Taglio in Mineola and the exciting opening of their second location in Massapequa.

A note from the host: Join me as I shake off the "podcast newbie" jitters and sit down with my very first celebrity guest! It’s a conversation filled with inspiration, technical expertise, and, of course, a lot of love for the dough.
