Il Monte Trattoria in DoubleTree by Hilton Plovdiv Center is pleased to introduce you to their new Italian guest chef. Special event for all the pizza lovers!

Born in Naples, at the age of 13 Chef Carmine De Michele moved with his family to Tuscany, Valdarno where he felt the real lack of Neapolitan pizza. And so he learned the secrets of this amazing pizza –  a project that was enriched over the years, based on his passion for dough, pasta and the flavors of beautiful Naples.

The real pizza is the one that speaks of the history, the culture and the place it comes from and so I decided that I should show it to the world, says Chef de Michele.

At the age of 19, he moved to Vienna to pursue a career and big goals, which were finally achieved with excellent results.

Each pizza is the result of the skilled hands of the pizzeria, his technical skills and his ability to select and approach the best ingredients. For me, it is important to dose the raw materials, to research and experiment with new ingredients, to use many local products – such as meat from farms in the area, eggs, vegetables and original drinks. Even if not all the products are from the Campania region, the attention to aesthetics and craftsmanship turn pizza making into a true art. “I am what I believe in!” he says. The important thing is to always look for innovation and, above all, create with passion!”

Carmine de Michele currently manages 4 restaurants. In recent years, he participated in various championships, from which he brought home many awards. The last prize is from the Pizza Doc World Championship, which was awarded as the best Italian pizza maker in the world for 2024, Best gourmet pizza and best pizzaiolo in Austria for 2023, 2 times vice world champion in the classic and gourmet category for 2022 and many more awards won over the years.
