From June 8th to 10th, 2026, Naples will once again become the world capital of pizza. The stunning setting of Lungomare Caracciolo will host the 23rd edition of the World Pizzaiuolo Championship - Caputo Trophy, an international event that draws hundreds of professionals from every continent, ready to compete through technique, creativity, and passion. In this context of pure excellence, Gi.Metal confirms its status as the exclusive official technical sponsor, reaffirming a historic bond with the Association of Neapolitan Pizzaiuoli (APN). All contestants will have access to Gi.Metal professional tools, chosen for their lightness and reliability, to best express their talent.

Partnership and Tradition

The relationship between Gi.Metal and APN is a solid collaboration rooted in tradition while looking passionately toward the future of Neapolitan pizza. A synergy based on shared core values: the importance of training, the quality of materials, and the ambition to bring Neapolitan excellence to every corner of the world.

I-RedBox: Technology in action

This year, technological innovation will take center stage: the I-RedBox will be present and in use throughout the event. This patented heated transport system represents the ultimate solution for professional delivery. Thanks to active temperature control and humidity monitoring, I-RedBox keeps the pizza as hot and fragrant as if it were fresh out of the oven, preserving the product's integrity from the oven to the customer's table.

Supporting pizza makers, today and tomorrow

Gi.Metal’s presence at the World Pizzaiuolo Championship as a technical sponsor is more than just participation: it is a concrete commitment to supporting professionals. From preparation on the peel to home delivery with the I-RedBox, Gi.Metal is the ally that allows pizza makers to protect the quality of their art at every stage of their work.

We look forward to seeing you in Naples from June 8th to 10th to celebrate the future of pizza together!
