Jez and Ieuan have a dream: to enter the World Pizza Championship in Parma. 

Jez and Ieuan, best mates who have a dream to become pizza-makers extraordinaire, set off to the World Pizza Championship in their old Italian van with an oven in the back.

Jez and Ieuan have a dream to change their lives and become pizza-makers extraordinaire. They buy an old Italian van, name it Smokey Pete, put an oven in the back and prepare for the journey. They also want to enter the World Pizza Championship in Parma - the biggest challenge of their lives!

Jez and Ieuz get some last-minute tips from their favourite Cardiff pizzeria and host their own special send-off before packing up Smokey Pete and hitting the road. The first stop is glorious San Sebastian, with its golden coastline and gastronomic delights, where the boys are treated to some Basque cider and learn about the traditional pinxto bars of the old town before taking their seats at the chef’s table in a very special restaurant. But this isn’t all plain sailing for the boys, as they’re challenged to make pizzas for a special party, hosted by a food society who think pizzas are for kids! 

Pizza Boys: Series 1

Series following Jez and Ieuan in their quest to enter the World Pizza Championship.
