Jimmy Orlando has always felt at home in the hospitality industry. His passion for food—especially pizza—emerged early, as he began working in cafés, bakeries, and pizza shops at just 14 years old.

By 16, Jimmy was balancing a full-time job in road construction alongside his father—following in his footsteps, as many good Italian boys do—while still nurturing his love for hospitality during nights and weekends. Through years of juggling two careers, he was constantly learning, observing, and dreaming of one day owning his own pizza shop. He was driven by the idea of creating something that could redefine how we experience pizza.

That dream began to take shape in 2008, during a trip to Naples, Italy. It was there that Jimmy first discovered the art of Neapolitan pizza—the simplicity, the tradition, and the unmistakable taste of how pizza was meant to be made. Intrigued and inspired, he set out to learn everything he could about this time-honored craft.

Over the years, Jimmy has dedicated himself to mastering the techniques of Neapolitan pizza making. He’s studied the fermentation process, the resting of dough, and the importance of top-quality ingredients. He’s even volunteered at Melbourne’s Italian Festival for four consecutive years, where his passion and commitment earned him the opportunity to work alongside some of the best pizza makers in Australia and the world.

In 2019, Jimmy had the honor of preparing and cooking his own Margherita pizza for three of the world’s top Neapolitan pizza chefs—owners of over 15 restaurants worldwide. Their feedback was glowing, praising not only the quality of his pizza but also his clear love for the AVPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana) and its traditions.

Later that year, Jimmy took the leap. He purchased a truck and fitted it out with a 1400mm Neapolitan woodfired oven and professional-grade equipment—everything needed to deliver authentic Neapolitan pizza on the go. Designed with a modern-retro look and built for high volume without compromising quality, Jimmy’s mobile pizzeria fits seamlessly into any setting or event.

Today, Jimmy conducts his business with professionalism, passion, and pride—always dressed in chef whites or blacks, always aiming to give his customers an unforgettable experience. With every pizza he serves, Jimmy brings the soul of Naples to your event, offering the true taste of Italian cuisine with heart, heritage, and authenticity.
