About Ranallo’s Pizza & Chef Giuseppe Cortinovis
Meet Ezio Ranallo and Giuseppe Cortinovis — two men brought together by pizza, passion, and a shared love for serving others.
Ezio Ranallo, a veteran sergeant with over 25 years in law enforcement, was born into a life of hard work and hustle. The son of Italian immigrants, Ezio holds dual citizenship and grew up in a family pizza shop, where he learned early that service comes in many forms. By age 10, he was delivering newspapers in the cold, dodging traffic, and learning responsibility the old-school way.
Looking to reconnect with his roots and brush up on new pizza techniques, Ezio enrolled in a masterclass—taught by none other than Giuseppe Cortinovis.
Giuseppe was born in San Pellegrino Terme, Italy, where he grew up in his parents’ bakery. He began making pizza to pay his way through university, and what started as a side job quickly became a lifelong passion. In 2014, Giuseppe moved to Canada to pursue new opportunities and share his craft. Since then, he’s become a two-time Canadian Pizza Champion and a finalist in top-tier European competitions. His approach is a mix of tradition, precision, and heart.
Ezio and Giuseppe instantly connected. They stayed in touch—two men from different worlds, united by dough and dedication.
One night, Ezio had a vision: a food truck like no other. Not just a pizza truck—a mobile experience that would fuse Italian tradition with West Coast charm. He sourced a Piaggio Ape and worked with a local fabricator to build a custom gull-wing pizza box—compact, stylish, and outfitted with a Saputo stone oven. It became the first of its kind in British Columbia.
That spark of inspiration became Ranallo’s Pizza & Gelato Catering—where Ezio’s deep-rooted sense of service and Giuseppe’s award-winning expertise come together in every slice.
Whether Ezio is leading a team or manning the fire, and whether Giuseppe is behind the dough or refining recipes, the mission remains the same: feed the soul, bring people together, and serve something unforgettable.

TicketsThe Land Upon Which We Celebrate
Home to the Semá:th First Nation and Máthxwi First Nation, Abbotsford’s fertile land has sustained life for over 10,000 years. Semá:th (Sumas) Lake, created when glaciers receded some 8000 years ago, helped provide the resources required for a vibrant community and culture to thrive.
The land beneath that lake, exposed by the draining of the lake in the 1920’s, now lies at the heart of Canada’s largest farming community. As people refocus on experiences that align with values such as honouring the environment, thinking sustainably, and supporting local businesses, we see a growing desire for personal growth through seeking a way of life that strikes a better balance with the land we live and play on.
Abbotsford’s identity will always be rooted in the land that has sustained the people of this place for thousands of years. The roots that are dug deep here go beyond the living things that grow from the soil to the values that sustain us. It is our connection to each other as family, friends and neighbours that unifies our diverse community.
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS!
We are incredibly grateful to our generous partners for making the Taste of Abby possible. Thank you to our dedicated partners for their continued support of Abbotsford’s celebration of the harvest season. Their contributions reflect a deep commitment to our farming community, local businesses, and the vibrant food, and arts & culture scene that makes Abbotsford so special.
