Born and raised in the Bronx, Jeff Varasano is the creator and owner of Varasano's Pizzeria in Atlanta, GA. Varasano has the worlds most popular pizza making blog and the internet's #1 NY Pizza Dough making recipe. Varasano and his pizza making have been featured in the New York Times, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, NPR, The Weather Channel, and many more media hubs.

In 1981, at the age of 14, Jeff set the Rubik's Cube US Record, solving the puzzle in 24.67 seconds. After setting the record, he made appearances on all the major talk shows of the day. You may remember Jeff from his appearances on Good Morning America, The Merv Griffin Show, That's Incredible!, Good Day New York with Regis Philbin, and The John Davidson Show. At 15, he published his methods in Jeff Conquers the Cube in 45 Seconds, And You Can Too!

After high school, Jeff went on to earn a degree in Economics from Yale University. He spent several more years in NYC as a computer consultant and software engineer, then moved to Atlanta in 1998. Within a few days, Jeff knew Atlanta pizza could not satisfy his New York cravings. At this point, he realized good pizza was not just a favorite food, but a necessity, so he took matters into his own hands and began his quest to perfect the pie.

The 10 year quest and recipe that led to the creation of Varasano's Pizzeria are chronicled at www.Varasanos.com. Jeff's recipe has been referenced on thousands of blogs as "the most complete and accurate pizza dough recipe on the internet".
