Casolaro Hotellerie and The Bars brought an innovative format to Tuttopizza 2026, dedicated to the meeting point between pizza, mixology, and front-of-house service.
From May 25 to 27, 2026, at the Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples, Casolaro Hotellerie took center stage at Tuttopizza with Pizz-ology Experience: a training and demonstration journey designed to enhance the role of front-of-house staff in the beverage offering.
Industry professionals had the opportunity to attend a program of masterclasses dedicated to tableside mixology, even without the presence of a traditional bar counter. The aim of the project was to show how waitstaff can become an active part of the experience, completing cocktails and pairings directly in front of the customer through the use of smart equipment and practical solutions for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector.
The format combined the art of pizza-making with mixology, offering a structured journey of pan pizza and cocktail pairing. The preparations were curated by a team of professionals: pizza maker Raffaele Boccia for the live pizza sessions, chef Danilo Angè for advanced cooking techniques, including foams, sponges, and siphon preparations, and bartender Mirko Scorteccia, The Bars Brand Ambassador, for the beverage component.
During the masterclasses, original pairings between contemporary pizzas and tailor-made cocktails were presented.
At the heart of the experience was also the presentation of the new mixology box developed by The Bars, a solution designed to integrate all the equipment needed for tableside cocktail preparation in a simple and scalable way. It is a practical tool for pizzerias, restaurants, and venues looking to expand their beverage offering without having a bar counter.
The masterclasses formed part of a broader project, completed by a technical recipe book accessible via QR code on dedicated gadgets, featuring detailed explanations of the preparations and pairings presented at the trade fair. The foams and sponges were made using ISI siphons, distributed in Italy by Trabo, Milan.
With Pizz-ology Experience, Casolaro Hotellerie confirmed its commitment to training and innovation for the Ho.Re.Ca. sector, proposing a concrete, replicable model capable of enriching the customer experience directly at the table.
