If you have seen videos of an Italian pizza chef stretching dough, pulling blistered Neapolitan pizzas out of a wood-fired oven, and belting out Italian classics in the middle of a party, you have already met Matteo the Pizza Singer (@matteopizzasinger).
Matteo leads our Antimo Pizza Chef team in Sydney. While I grew up in Naples in the south of Italy, Matteo comes from Northern Italy—which is why our crew nicknamed him "Antimo of the North" when we first started cooking and singing together at events.
Who Is Matteo the Pizza Singer (@matteopizzasinger)?
Head of Antimo Pizza Chef Sydney: Matteo is in charge of our Sydney mobile wood-fired pizza catering across Greater Sydney and NSW.
A real pizza chef first: He isn't a background singer hired separately—he is right at the bench stretching 72-hour fermented dough, topping pizzas with Italian San Marzano tomato and fior di latte, and baking them at 450°C.
Live Italian singing around the oven: Between batches of hot pizza, Matteo sings Italian favourites and party classics right from the pizza station, getting guests clapping, singing along, and filming.
Follow him on Instagram: You can watch his latest Sydney parties and live singing clips on Instagram at @matteopizzasinger.
What Happens When You Book Matteo for a Sydney Event?
Most people don't expect their pizza caterer and their live entertainment to be the same person. Here is how a typical Sydney event runs with Matteo:
We arrive around 1 hour before food service: We roll in with our mobile wood-fired pizza truck or our 3m × 3m marquee and portable ovens, fire up the oven, and prep fresh ingredients.
All-you-can-eat wood-fired pizza (2 hours): Pizzas come out of the oven every 90 seconds, hot and sliced onto the buffet table so guests can grab slices as they please.
Natural, interactive entertainment: Guests don't have to sit down and watch a formal stage show. People walk up for a slice of Margherita or Diavola, chat with Matteo at the bench, and end up singing along.
Optional—pizza with or without live singing: Want the full Matteo Pizza Singer vibe for a big birthday or wedding? You can secure Matteo for your event for a $200 fee, just tick "Secure Matteo" when you book. Prefer quiet, traditional wood-fired pizza service where the food takes centre stage? Our Sydney team does that every week too.
