Soprana Rooftop Cucina has been named a double winner in the 2025 PIE Awards, taking home honors for Best Pizza Company of the Year (Southeast) and the Community Involvement Award. Presented annually by Pizza Today, the PIE Awards recognize excellence across the pizza industry, from craft and technique to leadership and local impact.

The recognition places Soprana among a small group of brands nationwide acknowledged not only for the quality of their pizza, but for the role they play in their communities. Best Pizza Company of the Year (Southeast) highlights Soprana’s consistent execution, commitment to the highest quality flavors using brick oven traditional technique and supporting local producers through their ingredients. The Community Involvement Award reflects an ongoing commitment to Asheville through partnerships, hospitality leadership, and local engagement, especially in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

Together, the awards underscore what has defined Soprana since opening: delicious food paired with a clear sense of responsibility to the place it calls home.

Congrats to Philip Bollhoefer, VP of Food & Beverage at Parks Hospitality, and Soprana executive chef Jon Jerman for this recognition.
