Ballers Pizzeria in Lakeside, Cardiff, has appointed Giacomo Rimanti as its new head chef.
The pizzeria was first established in 2020, starting as a pop-up with a van, then evolving into a hatch in Heath, before opening the first bricks-and-mortar site in Lakeside in December 2023. Ballers focuses on Neapolitan-style pizzas with Spanish influences.
New head chef Rimanti is joining Ballers from the acclaimed and recently closed 591 by Anatoni’s in Canton, Cardiff.
His arrival coincides with the launch of new additions to the menu, including new dishes, pizzas and an expanded cocktail offering.
Benito Martinez, co-owner of Ballers, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Giacomo to the Ballers team. His creativity and experience will breathe fresh life into our menu while staying true to our Spanish influences and dedication to top-quality produce.
“With the addition of our new offers too, we’re looking forward to a busy spring-summer season at Ballers – whether you’re planning to visit us with friends, family or your significant other for some great pizza and cocktails – we’ve got you covered.”
