About Us
The story behind Neapolitan Pizza School and the man who built it.
Neapolitan Pizza School was established in Cape Coral, Florida, in 2010 by Thorsten Stein (Thor), with the mission of celebrating the tradition of Neapolitan pizza and German baking.
With 35 years of experience in the food industry, Mr. Stein has traveled the world, training individuals and restaurant owners, sharing his expertise and passion for culinary excellence on a global scale.
His journey began in 1991, training as a chef at the renowned 5-Star Steigenberger "Mannheimer Hof" hotel in Mannheim, Germany. In 2003, he was awarded Best Baker and Bakery in Germany by top food magazines "Schrot und Korn" and "Der Feinschmecker".
Driven by a passion for dough, he mastered the craft of Neapolitan pizza, training under two Master Pizzaiolos from Italy to learn the authentic techniques of this iconic dish.
