Meet the Team
Shoji Nonaka
Chef de CuisineShoji Nonaka traces his passion for exceptional ingredients back to his childhood. Growing up in Shizuoka, a Japanese city perched between the mountains and the sea, he developed an early appreciation for nature’s gifts thanks to the richness of local ingredients – fresh seafood, wild mushrooms and seasonal vegetables. For him, food was a significant part of daily life, from cooking with his mother and grandmother to exploring restaurants with his grandfather, which sparked his desire to go deeper into the art of cooking.
“Sharing a generous, delicious meal with people you love is one of the greatest pleasures in life, and that’s exactly what we strive to deliver.”
Alessandro De Leo
Specialty Pizza ChefHailing from the Italian city of Naples, Specialty Pizza Chef Alessandro Luca de Leo draws on his legacy to bring the finest traditions of pizza-making to PIGNETO. Building on authentic Italian techniques, de Leo crafts pizzas best described as Neapolitan 2.0. In place of the standard 00 flour, he uses an innovative 0-type flour that is extremely pure and made with 100 percent Italian grains, unlike most brands in Asia which include a mix of foreign grains. This flour became available in Japan only last year, with de Leo playing an instrumental role in bringing it to the country.
“Pizza is a way of life in Napoli. We’ve perfected the art over centuries – it’s in our blood. If you start making pizza in Napoli, it means you want to be the best.”
