Dfter the great success of the match against Paris Saint German at the San Paolo stadium, the pizza on three wheels will once again be the protagonist in the Champions League in the challenge against Red Star. During the challenge of Ancelotti's Napoli against the French, the patron Aurelio De Laurentiis had the intuition to place the ape car Johnny Take Ue', owned by the entrepreneur Giovanni Kahn della Corte, in the VIP area of the authority stand managed by Massimo Calafiore and Massimiliano Borrelli. After the 300 pizzas baked on that occasion, the idea will be repeated in the match scheduled for November 28, when guests and managers in the Belgrade team will be able to taste the legendary margherita a portafoglio prepared by master pizza chef Patrizio De Biase. Johnny Take Ue' is the only three-wheeled means of transport equipped with a patented traditional wood-fired oven, a completely Neapolitan project that is based in the city at Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Edenlandia, but which also has outlets in London, Perugia, Milan, Bergamo (Sarnico), Rende and L'Aquila. Johnny Take Ue' was born in 2012, when Kahn Della Corte had the idea of placing a wood-fired oven, made of refractory material and a Sorrento biscuit floor, on a Piaggio Ape Car. An innovative project but respectful of tradition. The peculiarity of the vehicle lies in the fact that the pizzas are made on the spot, in front of the customers, using fresh and genuine ingredients. The pizza is therefore delivered "a portafoglio", the traditional way of consuming pizza in Naples, especially on the street, folding it in four and serving it in a very special sheet of straw paper. The vehicle is equipped with its own removable flue and with retractable work tables, therefore without external supports. Among the peculiarities are the use of basil leaves detached directly from a plant present on the bee, slow-leavening and long-maturing dough and the very special pizza with yellow tomatoes. Graduated from the University of Naples Federico II, with a thesis entitled "Food and Beverage Management", Giovanni Kahn della Corte was awarded by the Chamber of Commerce of Naples as part of "Napoli ottimo". His brand Johnny Take Ue' is also present in the 10 "Pizzerie & Cucine d'Eccellenza" stores. Among his ideas are the "Napoli Strit Food Festival" and beerETTA, a bicycle that allows the dispensing of beer by pedaling, with the Mobilarch group of the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples Federico II. He is a company tutor at the University of Naples Federico II, following numerous degree theses.
