An authentic and unique Milano Gourmet Pizza, a special dough recipe, an innovative pizza making process, high quality Italian ingredients, a holistic approach to the food and beverage world, a focus on sustainable agriculture and farming, as well as a deep love for Milano, where Andrea, Giacomo and Luca grew up, and San Diego, where they studied, worked and became who they are now. These are some of the few concepts that make up the whole Ambrogio15 project, an idea that was born between Milano and San Diego from the minds and the hearts of three young Italian guys, who decided to leave the corporate world to begin a new adventure made up of passion, friendship and a bit of foolishness. It was back in 2014 when Luca called Giacomo and Andrea, in a rainy, foggy day at the office in Milano, where the three of them working as strategic consultants for three prestigious firms, and proposed the crazy idea “what if we move back to San Diego and open a Pizzeria. But not just another Pizzeria, let’s do something different, let’s innovate and bring the best of our land to show San Diegans and everyone else what a pizza dining experience can be”. That was the turning point, after that day they knew exactly where and who they wanted to be. They spent more than a year developing the main product, their special paper-thin crust pizza, and its variations: the thicker whole wheat pizza, the soft Nuvola Focaccia and the crunchy crust Scrocchiarella. They scouted and tried different pizzas all over Italy in order to create something new and unique that took the best of every single pizza they tried. The recipes came along after hundreds of trials, and the ingredients were selected among those of the best small-scale, organic and sustainable producers and farmers from Italy: the mozzarella from the Consorzio della Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, aged Parma Prosciutto, DOP (controlled destination of origin) cheeses and cold cuts, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar from Modena, biodynamic w**es and craft beers. During this time they began to work with renowned Italian architect and graphic designers, to create a unique atmosphere and that resembled their hometown Milano, the capital of design, fashion and architecture, to bring its young style and vibe to San Diego and offer the market a new concept completely different from the traditional Italian restaurants. A modern design, a trendy style, a hip and cool vibe and a cozy atmosphere, together with special high quality pizzas and delicious food treats, and a fun service enriched by the storytelling of the products make Ambrogio15 a must for anyone who wants to enjoy a modern and unique Italian Pizza dining experience
