OPEN A PIZZA BUSINESS WITH THE RIGHT STRUCTURE
12-MONTH SILVER CONSULTING PACKAGEDesigned for entrepreneurs who already have a location and need structured, hands-on guidance to launch, improve, or expand an efficient, professional pizza business.
Turn Your Location into a Professional Pizza Business
The Silver Package is designed for entrepreneurs who have already secured a location and need a structured approach to develop the business around it.
Whether you’re preparing a new space, renovating an existing property, or developing a new pizza concept, the program helps connect the key operational decisions that shape an efficient and professional setup.
This applies to a range of pizzeria concepts, including Contemporary Neapolitan pizza, Pizza al Taglio, and Pinsa Romana.
World Pizza Champion Francesco Santocono works directly with you throughout the project, combining strategic planning with practical implementation to help you build efficient operations, a trained team, and a solid foundation for launch.
The Silver Package is ideal when the location is already in place, but the project still requires professional structure, practical guidance, and hands-on implementation before opening.

This package is structured over a 12-month period, allowing you to move through each stage of your setup with expert guidance and support.
You’ll work directly with World Pizza Champion Francesco Santocono through a focused consulting process designed to help you build a structured, efficient, and professional pizzeria operation.
The Silver Package combines strategic planning with hands-on on-site implementation, helping you make informed decisions throughout the setup and launch process.
This provides continuity from planning and preparation through to practical on-site implementation.
Consulting & Training with Francesco Santocono
Includes consulting support over a 12-month project period, together with 7 days of on-site consulting and training at your location.
The extended timeframe allows the project to develop from planning and preparation through to the practical on-site implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers before you invest time and money into your pizza business.
Is the Silver Package right for me if I already have a location?
Yes. The Silver Package is specifically suited to projects where the location has already been secured and you need structured professional guidance to develop the business around that space.
If you still need support evaluating or selecting the right location, the Gold Consulting Package is the more appropriate option.
Can the Silver Package support an existing pizzeria or a new location?
Yes. The Silver Package can support both entrepreneurs preparing to open a new pizzeria and existing operators who want to improve their current business or develop an additional location.
The consulting is adapted to the specific concept, space, operational needs, and stage of your project, rather than following a standard approach.
What if my project changes during the 12-month consulting period?
That is part of the consulting process. As the project develops, decisions may need to evolve based on the space, equipment, production requirements, budget, or operational priorities.
The 12-month timeframe allows the consulting to adapt as your project progresses, helping you make informed decisions from planning through practical implementation.
