Start Your Pizza Shop the Right Way
8-MONTH BRONZE CONSULTING PACKAGEGet clear, hands-on guidance to launch a new pizza shop, improve an existing operation, or prepare for expansion — while making informed decisions and reducing costly mistakes.
Is the Bronze Package Right for You?
The Bronze Package is designed for entrepreneurs who want to start a pizza shop the right way — with clear guidance to reduce costly mistakes from the beginning.
It’s ideal if you already have a location, or you’re in the process of setting up and need expert guidance to make informed decisions throughout the setup process.
This applies to a range of pizzeria concepts, including contemporary Neapolitan pizza, Pizza al Taglio, and Pinsa Romana.
You’ll receive direct, hands-on support to refine your setup, choose the right equipment and ingredients, and avoid costly mistakes that slow many new pizzerias down.
Francesco Santocono will personally work with you on-site to train your team, fine-tune your workflow, and make sure your business is ready to open with confidence.
Everything Included in the 8-Month Bronze Consulting Program
A structured 8-month consulting program designed to support the operational setup of your pizza business with the right equipment, operational workflow, product consistency, and professional guidance throughout the development process.
Throughout the consulting program, Francesco Santocono will guide you through key operational decisions related to equipment, ingredients, workflow organization, supplier selection, and equipment setup — helping you reduce costly mistakes and build a smoother, more efficient launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers before you invest time and money into your pizza business.
Is the Bronze Package right for an existing or new pizza business?
Yes. The Bronze Package is well suited to both existing pizzerias looking to improve their operation and entrepreneurs who are preparing to start a pizza shop and already have the main elements of their project in place.
If your project requires broader support with areas such as location evaluation, kitchen planning, menu development, or overall business structure, a Silver or Gold Consulting Package may be more suitable.
What happens before the on-site consulting and training?
The project is prepared in advance so that the on-site phase can be focused, practical, and productive. Before arriving at your location, we review the key elements of your operation, including your pizza concept, equipment, ingredients, production needs, and current setup.
This preparation allows the on-site consulting to focus on the areas that will make the greatest practical difference to your business.
Will the training be adapted to my equipment, staff, and pizza style?
Yes. The consulting and training are tailored to your specific operation, equipment, team, and production requirements rather than following a standard course format.
The goal is to improve product consistency, workflow, production efficiency, and staff execution using the real conditions of your business.
