Peppe Miele

I grew up with the aroma of fresh dough, wood-fired ovens, and the belief that great pizza is a craft, a culture, and a way to bring people together. My journey began in Naples, the birthplace of pizza, where I learned the art of true Neapolitan pizza from master pizzaioli and absorbed the traditions that make this craft so special. A great moment for me was realizing that pizza is more than food—it’s a language everyone can speak. That realization inspired me to devote my career to sharing this craft with others.Today, I am the founder and lead instructor of AVPN Pizza School in Los Angeles, where I’ve had the privilege of teaching hundreds of students—from absolute beginners to culinary professionals—and hosting team-building events for major companies and organizations across California. Whether it’s a corporate class, a private workshop, or a hands-on dough-making lesson, I bring the same passion, precision, and joy to every group I teach.
