The one-two finish put two Gragnano-based professionals at the top of the international competition, according to Metropolis Web. Mayor Nello D’Auria also confirmed the first- and second-place result in a post celebrating the two bakers.
Both men are linked to local businesses and the Panuozzo di Gragnano association, whose president is identified as Ciro Minopoli. The result gives wider visibility to panuozzo, a specialty associated with Gragnano and the Monti Lattari.
Panuozzo is a baked pizza-dough sandwich, commonly filled with ingredients such as sausage, friarielli, mozzarella, vegetables or cured meats.
