When husband and wife Federico Venturini and Viola Tagliaferri moved from Gualdo Tadino, Italy to Cave Creek, Arizona in 2018, they didn’t speak English or know anyone in the community. What they did have was determination and a dream.
The couple opened Pizzicata, the first authentic pinsa pizzeria in Carefree in 2019. Pinsa is a style of pizza that has 48 percent less sugar and 85 percent less fat than a traditional pie. Exactly a year later, they opened their second eatery, Pomodoro, in the old Cartwright’s space.
