About

Chef Nicco Muratore is passionate about his pizza!

In Detroit Style, learn how to master the square slice. The Detroit style of pizza is fascinating and unique — a fluffy crust with crisp, caramelized cheese along the edges, and a topping of tomato sauce make this a fabulous pizza to make at home. Baked in rectangular dishes, the dough has similarities to focaccia but with a different fermentation process and stretching technique. 

Join us for a deep dive into all things square pies, and learn how to make the dough from scratch, prepare the cheese and toppings, and bake some tasty pizzas! We'll make a classic pepperoni, hot honey, and whipped ricotta pizza, as well as work with some early summer vegetables for a seasonal Detroit-style pizza with vegetables from local farms.

Nicco Muratore

Nicco grew up in Boston, where he got his start cooking at the restaurants inside historic Fenway Park. He was introduced to Middle Eastern cuisine by Chef Ana Sortun at Oleana Restaurant and Sofra. After three years at Sortun's restaurants, Nicco joined The Montagu Kitchen in London's Grand Hyatt Hotel. Next was a stint at Danny Meyer's historic Union Square Cafe in New York, before he returned to Boston to join Chef Steven Postal's team at the newly opened Commonwealth, where he spent five years working his way from Sous Chef to Chef de Cuisine. Nicco represented Commonwealth at the historic James Beard House in New York City on four occasions.
Nicco joined Mamnoon in Seattle as Chef de Cuisine in 2019 and in 2022 took over the role of Mama Group culinary director, overseeing the culinary teams at mamnoon, mbar, mamnoon street, hanoon, and mamnoon fine foods. In 2022, Nicco appeared on an episode of Food Network's Chopped and took home the victory in a pickle-themed competition.
In 2023, Nicco was invited to teach at Harvard's Science and Cooking Program, and taught a koji and fermentation class with culinary explorer Rich Shih. In 2024, Nicco branched out from restaurant work and began teaching classes on wood-fired pizza, fermentation and koji, and cooking with local food.
Nicco lives in Seattle with his wife, Sam, and their dog, Penny. Outside the kitchen, you can find him in the garden, hiking, skiing or hunting for mushrooms.
