Great that you want to cover the project. Here is everything at a glance: a short profile, facts, logos and a direct line to me. Texts and material on this page may be used freely for editorial coverage of "Pizza for the World" – crediting pizzafuerdiewelt.com is enough.

The project in brief

Pizza for the World is a journey with two pizza ovens across all of Europe: Philippe Durand from Gänserndorf near Vienna is driving a van with an expedition trailer through 47 countries in six seasons. Wherever he stops, the oven goes on – serving real Neapolitan pizza, folded a portafoglio and eaten from the hand. Free, for everyone who stops by. The whole journey is documented week by week and shared on YouTube. The guiding idea: where the oven burns, no one stays a stranger.

About Philippe Durand

Philippe Durand runs the journey as a one-man show: he drives, manoeuvres, bakes and films himself – and edits the episodes on the road that appear on YouTube every week. Professionally he comes from television production; pizza is his craft, the camera his second one. The idea behind the project: pizza doesn't ask about origin or bank balance – where food is shared, conversation begins.
