Gavino Pilo is a Neapolitan pizzaiolo and founder of Little Napoli Pizzeria in Hong Kong. Born and raised in Naples, the birthplace of pizza, he has dedicated his career to preserving and sharing the traditions of authentic Neapolitan pizza. After completing his culinary training in 

Italy, he moved to Hong Kong and opened Little Napoli in 2021 with the goal of bringing the flavours, culture, and spirit of Naples to a new audience. At the heart of his philosophy is a commitment to authenticity. Little Napoli is known for its daily-made dough, carefully selected 

Italian ingredients, and handcrafted pizzas baked in a traditional Neapolitan stone oven. Alongside classic pizzas, the menu showcases specialties such as pizza fritta and fritto misto, celebrating the richness of Neapolitan street food culture. Pilo was among the first pizzaioli to 

introduce Hong Kong diners to the tradition of enjoying pizza folded by hand, just as it is often eaten in Naples. His dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and hospitality has earned widespread recognition from food critics and industry professionals, establishing Little Napoli as one of Hong Kong’s most respected destinations for authentic Neapolitan pizza.
