Alejandro Burgaleta shares his journey from Galbani Pizza Cup champion to competing on pizza’s biggest international stage.
After winning the 2025 Galbani Pizza Cup, Alejandro Burgaleta of The Pizza Point Miami in Florida, earned the opportunity of a lifetime: representing the U.S. Pizza Team at the 2026 Campionato Mondiale della Pizza in Parma, Italy, one of the most prestigious and competitive pizza events in the world. Each year, hundreds of pizzaioli from dozens of countries gather in Parma to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level of the craft.
In this video, Alejandro reflects on the experience of traveling to Italy, presenting his brand and pizza style on a global stage, and competing before Italian judges in the birthplace of so many pizza traditions. He shares what it was like preparing for an international competition that demands precision, organization and the ability to perform under pressure.
Alejandro also discusses the support he received from Galbani Professionale throughout the journey, from product support in Italy to helping make the entire experience possible. Most importantly, he talks about the pride of representing the United States while carrying the flag for his Venezuelan roots, ultimately finishing as the highest-ranked competitor from Venezuela at the championship.
Join Alejandro as he looks back on an unforgettable week of competition, learning and international camaraderie in Parma, where the world’s best pizza makers come together to celebrate their craft.
