Facundo Rodulfo, Head Chef & Pizzaiolo behind Tango Street Food in Killarney, Kerry has received an exclusive invitation to compete at the Pizza World Championship 2024, from April 9th to 11th in Parma, Italy.

Facundo's culinary journey, stretching from the vibrant landscapes of Argentina to the heart of the Kingdom, has shaped Tango Street Food into a gastronomic powerhouse in County Kerry. 

Facundo’s passion for pizza, rooted in his Argentinean upbringing, has evolved at Tango Street Food, where his wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas fuse an inspired blend of the finest Italian and Irish ingredients.

"Facundo's participation is a testament to his dedication and our journey from Argentina to Kerry is part of Tango’s story, therefore we are proud to represent Ireland in such a contest.” Said Pamela Neumann, wife and co-owner of Tango Street Food.

Facundo’s passion for food, combined with his Argentinean heritage and love for Ireland, makes him a fitting representative for our country in this international competition.
