WATCH: Roger Federer gets a lesson in pizza-making from a local New York expert

Tennis legend Roger Federer recently showed off his pizza-making skills in a video series by Uniqlo. The Swiss star visited Scarr’s Pizza in New York City and learned how to toss and bake a slice from the owner, Scarr Pimentel, who is known for his authentic and delicious pizzas.

The video, titled 'Rolling in the Dough', is part of a four-part series called '24 Hours with Roger Federer in NYC'. The series follows Federer as he explores the American city, experiences some of the local cultures, interacts with the art world, and plays chess with a young fan. It’s a glimpse into the life of one of the most admired athletes in the world, who is also a UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassador.

In the video, Federer can be seen enjoying a slice of pizza at Scarr’s Pizza, which is located in the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. He then asks Pimentel to teach him how to make his own pizza and gets to work on stretching the dough, adding the sauce and cheese, and sliding it into the oven.

The video was posted on Friday, July 14, on Uniqlo’s YouTube channel.

Federer stated that he loves pizza and that he wants to impress his family with his new culinary skills. The 41-year-old added that he hopes to have a pizza night with his family when he returns home.

"Do you think you can maybe teach me some of the tricks on how to make a pizza? I mean, if I come home, you know, super dad, let me show them I learned something in New York City. I'm looking forward to reuniting with the family and having a pizza night," Federer said.
