Avion International Australia manages international freight forwarding and 3PL solutions for businesses around the world — from large-scale supply chains to specialised, one-off deliveries that can be just as important to the people receiving them. It’s this range that connects Avion to one of the more memorable stories in Sydney’s food scene: the journey of brothers Simone and Alessio Zullo and their restaurant, Fratelli Pulcinella.
When Simone Zullo travelled from Sydney to Naples in 2026, he returned to the home of Neapolitan pizza with one of the world’s most prestigious titles. Simone, who owns Fratelli Pulcinella in Parramatta alongside his brother Alessio, was crowned World Champion in the Pizza Napoletana S.T.G. category at the 2026 Caputo Cup.
Originally from Campania, the Zullo brothers have built their success in Australia by bringing the traditions, craftsmanship and flavours of Naples to Sydney. Their journey is a celebration of Italian heritage thriving on Australian soil — and of the strong connection between Italy and Australia.
That connection is also reflected in the restaurant itself. When the brothers established Fratelli Pulcinella in Parramatta, Avion International Australia arranged the shipment and delivery of their traditional wood-fired brick pizza oven from Italy to Sydney. The oven was large and highly specialised, and had to be carefully positioned in a tight, difficult space — the kind of operation that requires the same precision and planning Avion applies to shipments of any size, wherever in the world they are headed.
As Alessio Zullo, Co-Founder of Fratelli Pulcinella, explains:
“Avion was able to ship and deliver our pizza oven in an extremely inconvenient and difficult space, handling the operation with efficiency and accuracy — both vital to meeting the scheduled opening of our restaurant at the time. I recommend their services to any importer who needs the job done properly.”
Marco Viglietta, Managing Director of Avion International Australia, says:
“We’re a global logistics company, but we’re also part of the local community we operate in. Businesses like Fratelli Pulcinella are at the heart of the communities we work alongside every day.”
The successful delivery helped the brothers establish their authentic Neapolitan pizza experience in Parramatta. Years later, their dedication to the craft has taken Simone from Australia back to Naples, where he achieved the ultimate recognition: becoming World Champion.
For Avion, moments like this are what logistics is really about. Whether coordinating supply chains for businesses across the globe or helping a local restaurant get its oven through the door in time for opening night, it all comes down to the same commitment: getting the job done right.
From an Italian wood-fired oven arriving in Parramatta to Simone Zullo standing on the world stage in Naples, the journey of Fratelli Pulcinella brings together Italian heritage, Australian success, and the logistics that connect the two countries.
Congratulations to Simone, Alessio and the entire Fratelli Pulcinella team on this outstanding achievement! 🇮🇹🇦🇺
