Born in Thailand and raised in Naples, Italy, Thanwa grew up at the crossroads of two rich culinary worlds. It was in Naples—the spiritual home of pizza—that he first fell in love with the craft, absorbing the time-honored techniques and soulful traditions of Neapolitan pizza-making.

From a young age, Thanwa was drawn not just to the food, but to the artistry and precision behind every dough, every topping, and every bake.

His unique background allows him to blend a deep respect for Italian culinary heritage with a fresh, international perspective—bringing authenticity, creativity, and passion to every pizza that leaves his oven.

Today, at Peppina Pizza, Chef Thanwa continues to honor the legacy of Neapolitan pizza while pushing its boundaries, offering a dining experience that is both rooted in tradition and infused with global flavor.
