The USPT’s journey to glory is made possible by the generosity of its sponsors. With their understanding of the industry and their passion for pizza and the USPT, they are integral in creating events throughout the year, like the Galbani Professionale Pizza Cup. Events like these help the USPT find the best culinary and acrobatic pizza talent to represent the team, its sponsors and the United States in international competitions.
Thank you, USPT sponsors, from the entire United States Pizza Team!
