A six-time James Beard Award nominee and the bestselling author of The Joy of Pizza – Everything You Need to Know, Richer has spent more than two decades relentlessly pursuing the art and science of perfect pizza.

His journey is marked by an almost monastic dedication to detail. Richer evaluates his pizzas using a meticulous 60-point rubric, analysing everything from dough structure and flavour balance to the physics of heat and the nuanced perception of taste.

His approach is as much about agriculture and chemistry as it is about culinary instinct, with every ingredient selected from the ground up — literally.

More than a chef, Dan Richer is a craftsman, philosopher, and educator, reshaping what American pizza can be. At Razza, he invites guests not just to eat, but to experience a slice of his lifelong pursuit of pizza excellence.
