Mike Pungello is one lucky guy: He and a guest will be taking a 13-day tour of Italy courtesy of Aljon’s Pizza and Great Tours of Italy.com.
Carlo Puglisie of Aljon’s Pizza and Simone Martini of Great Tours of Italy.com teamed up to offer this “Bella Italia” tour because they wanted to provide a real glimpse of their beautiful home country.
“People were always asking me where to go in Italy,” Pugliese explained. “But I’ve been in the U.S. for 26 years, and I don’t travel around Italy; when I go, I go home to Monte di Procida in Napoli. Simone has traveled all over Italy, so he can direct people to the best places.”
In fact, Martini checks out every location he includes on one of his signature trips: hotels, restaurants, tour companies, attractions and more. This trip starts and ends in Rome, and includes stays in Tuscany, Venice, Assisi, Sorrento and Velletri. Along the way, lucky winner Pungello and a guest will tour many additional picturesque towns. Also included are 12 buffet breakfasts; four lunches; a wine and olive oil tasting in Tuscany; and 10 dinners.
“Mike will get to know the history and see the best of my country because local experts are the tour guides,” Pugliese added.
While he’s in the states, Pungello can sample real Italian delights and then some at Aljon’s Pizza. Everything from regular to pan style pizza; pasta dishes such as fettuccine alfredo to lobster ravioli in a pink sauce; plus sandwiches, subs, soups, wings and entrees made with Pugliese’s special Italian touch.
“Our entire menu is available for take-out and we also have a catering menu,” he added.
Aljon’s Pizza is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Check out the menu at www.aljonspizzaPrinceton.com or call 609-799-4915.
