All About the Professor
Dean Litster, aka. Professor Zaaa, is known for his art of pizza making. He has competed in competitions around the world, including Canada and Las Vegas, with his amazing creations.
As a young boy, Dean dreamed of being an astronaut. He later came to love the art of television broadcasting, where he went on to school at Specs Howard, to learn about how to make everything look the best on screen. That is where he came across the difficult decision: make pizzas or become a television slave.
Today, Dean has taken his passion 25 years into the future. He has mixed up the pizza game and created pizzas the average person would have never thought possible. He is consistently pushing boundaries in the pursuit of the perfect zaaa. Winning awards such as number 1 in Canada and multiple top 5 in the world, even placing number 1 in the pizza box folding competition, makes him a force to be reckoned with. He is always looking for new inspiration in everything he does!
Professor zaaa has become just that, a professor, a mentor, a legend of his craft. Just try it for yourself and find out what sets him apart… or better yet… find out… the Prof Zaaa Difference
