Two times Pizza Acrobatics World Champion Chef Pasqualino Barbasso returns to Lebanon for the fourth time to entertain crowds with his gravity defying pizza maneuvers.
This weekend, I had the chance to meet Chef Pasqualino, spending some interesting time around the furnaces. Besides getting a taste of authentic, delectable pizzas made true to Italian traditions from Chef Pasqualino’s hometown in Sicily, I also got to watch him perform right before my eyes. I was stunned by the showcase of his legendary acrobatic pizza-spinning skills. Definitely something you do not get to see everyday.
