Welcome back to a new episode of Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart. A recurrent theme in our shows during these past few months has been the emergence and growth of the Women in Pizza movement, and this week's guest is one of the key driving forces in all of this. Ironically, Anna Crucitt didn't start out as a pizzaiola, but as a gelato queen. At Mercurio's Creamery and Pizzeria, she and her brothers, Joe and Michael, are makers of both award winning artisan gelato and Neapolitan pizzas at their two locations in Fox Chapel and Shadyside in Pittsburgh. Together, they continue the family legacy begun by their parents, and have taken Mercurio's to new heights while honing their pizza craft through international competitions.

Mercurio's is now voted in many polls as the best pizza in Pittsburgh. But Peter loves ice cream and gelato almost as much as pizza, so no conversation with Anna is complete without diving into her journey through gelato and how it led her back to pizza. This episode was recorded at the 2024 International Pizza Expo, where Anna made presentations as a brand ambassador for the Women in Pizza organization, along with a number of other truly remarkable pizzaiolas who we have featured here previously. We cover it all in this episode of Pizza Quest.
