216: Kyle Jacovino, Pizzeria Vittoria (Savannah, GA)

If you're from the South, the pizza tradition here has usually centered around game night, movie night, study groups, or volunteer dinners, with big boxes lined up on a table sitting out long after we've all finished eating. It's often good, but not really a Southern Fork subject. However, the following discussion is not about that kind of pizza, but something a lot more transcendent, at least if you're like me and love carbs. Kyle Jacovino of Pizzeria Vittoria in Savannah, Ga. is a dedicated Neapolitan pizza practitioner, and his attention to technique is something I taste in every bite. He honed his Southern cooking chops under famed chefs Linton Hopkins and Hugh Acheson, but Pizzeria Vittoria is all his -- his passion, his sweat equity, and his attention to detail, and he consistently makes some of the best pizza I've ever had.
