Along with the 400 Gradi restaurant branches under his belt, and years of experience, it comes as no surprise as one of the accolades Johnny has earned is that of World’ s Best Pizza Maker in 2014. Additionally, Johnny’ s training at the AVPN not only made him the first Australian to receive the training, but also garnered him the title of the President of AVPN Australia. Truly a master of his art and keen on sharing his knowledge with those who too, like him, are passionate about Italian cuisine, Johnny also offers Masterclasses during which he teaches his techniques on how to create the perfect Neapolitan pizza, and has also released a book in which he has shared
50 of his own recipes, as well as his dough making technique for the best pizza base.“ I believe if I dont continue the tradition, or if I dont educate people on how to make an authentic Neapolitan pizza, I’ m afraid the tradition may die some day”, Johnny says, and adds that he finds it his duty to keep his cooking as close to the original recipes as possible to ensure the true tastes are never forgotten. Keeping true to his promise of always serving traditional and genuine Italian food, Johnny De Francesco’ s 400 Gradi is a tribute to his rich culture, that he carries strongly with him and shares with his customers one authentic dish at a time.
