The chefs

Born in Rio, multi-talented and with a creative, entrepreneurial streak, he studied Economics and Law before turning to the world of gastronomy.

Today he shuttles between cities to run the businesses: Oro, in Rio de Janeiro, with two Michelin stars; Lina and Pipo, in São Paulo; plus Bronze+ and FOMO, whose offices are also in São Paulo.

On television, a stage he moves through with ease, he built audience hits such as Perto do Fogo and The Taste Brasil, on GNT, and Top Chefs, on Record.

One of the rising names in São Paulo's food scene, he runs Paul's Boutique, his own project serving New York-style pizza in neighbourhoods such as Itaim, Vila Madalena and Bom Retiro — a contemporary read on pizza that combines technique, creativity and a clear identity.

Before that, over more than a decade in renowned kitchens, he worked at places like Roberta's in New York, a global pizza reference, and led Bráz Elettrica and Bráz Pizzaria in São Paulo.

Bronze+ executive chef, Andreza signs Pipo's kitchen alongside Felipe Bronze: from familiar recipes to more elaborate preparations, very often with live fire at the centre.

It falls to her and the team to hit the same mark every day — on the parmegiana, the creamy rice and the short rib that spends 18 hours over the fire.
