“Never start a business just to make money, start a business to make a difference”
– Chef Renato Viola
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
Mister O1 was born from the idea that an extraordinary pizza requires the utmost attention to detail and the finest ingredients, the necessary tools for an artist to produce a masterpiece. I opened Mister O1 with the intention of creating something truly extraordinary.
It’s important that you understand that Mister O1 is not just me, “As Chef Renato or only the pizza,” It involves much more than that, including quality, service and crafting guest experiences that all come together to deliver the best hospitality. We must always deliver the best to our guests.
Mister O1 provides a high standard of service. We are professional, fluid and fun with excellent product knowledge. My aim is to impress and delight our guests.
The recipe for success was simple but not easy: Quality and Consistency. These would be the hallmarks of my Extraordinary Pizzas. Mister O1 uses only the finest and freshest ingredients and they are imported from Italy and locally sourced. The artisanal pizza is a delicate thin crust style with a very light dough which is prepared and rests for a minimum of 72 hours into natural levitation before being prepared and served.
How’d you meet your business partner?
Chef Renato Viola came to settle in Miami Beach under the O1 Visa category, reserved for those with “Extraordinary Artistic Ability” of internationally acclaimed fame.

They opened Mister O1 with the intention of creating something truly extraordinary!
