A Unique Mix

MICHAL PIEKARSKI

Michal is an Italian chef, TV personality, and the proud owner of the triple Michelin starred restaurant, Godfather’s Pizza. He has been the owner for seven consecutive years. While he has been combining his unique ideas into classic dishes, he also strives for perfection, or perhaps New York’s best.
