Corey DiGiovanni, a seasoned Pizzaiolo with roots in New York, is the visionary behind Pie Society Pizza, driven by his deep-seated love for the craft. From his upbringing in New York to his current home in Virginia Beach, Corey has brought his passion for pizza to a new audience.

​

At just fourteen years old, Corey began his journey as a pizza maker at a local pizzeria in Hopewell Junction, NY, renowned for its thin-crust, Sicilian, and calzone specialties. Spending his weekends perfecting his skills alongside seasoned veterans, Corey absorbed their expertise. Despite navigating through various career paths, his desire to delve into the rich tapestry of pizza-making knowledge remained strong. Armed with decades of experience and an unwavering passion for pizza, Corey embarked on his own culinary journey. He gained recognition on social media as "Pizzaiolo Da Casa" (pizza chef at home). Hosting numerous backyard pizza parties and social gatherings, Corey turned his hobby into a thriving endeavor, serving up authentic New York and Detroit-style pies to friends and neighbors for tips. As demand skyrocketed, the prospect of establishing an official business became inevitable.

​

Now, alongside his wife, Jill DiGiovanni, Corey has brought Pie Society Pizza to life in Virginia Beach. You can catch Pie Society Pizza at numerous Virginia Beach / Chesapeake / and Norfolk special events, breweries, and they're also available for catering / corporate catering, church events, weddings, pre wedding celebrations, and wedding after parties! Pie Society has even had the special opportunity to cater AIRSHOW 2024 at Naval Air Station Oceana which was absolutely incredible. We were honored and proud to have been able to bring Pie Society Pizza to the NEXt Level Rewards Chalet as well as to feed the volunteers that helped to make the show happen. A very special thanks to Retired Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi, Chief Executive Officer of Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) for taking the time to visit with Pie Society Pizza and give us the “Going The Extra Nautical Mile”.
