- Al Fresco is a human character who appeared in the cartoon show episode "Greedy's Master Pizza". He is a pizza chef of a Roman city in ancient times, seeking to win Caesar's pizza making contest in order to become Caesar's head pizza maker and earn enough money for him and his wife Anti Pasto to live in a better place. In the episode, the timelost Smurfs appeared in his kitchen as he was preparing the ingredients for making the contest pizza, the scent of which attracted Greedy's nose as he sampled a slice of the pizza pie. However, while Al Fresco slept in his kitchen, Greedy tried to look for the recipe of the human chef's pizza when he was trapped under an overturned strainer, and from there saw a rival pizza chef named Gargensole sneak into the kitchen to switch Al Fresco's pizza ingredients with his own so that he would come out the winner of the contest instead of Al Fresco. In the morning, Al Fresco was ready to make his contest pizza when Greedy warned him about the switched ingredients and offered to help make a new batch of ingredients so that Al Fresco could win the contest. However, by the time they finished making the ingredients, the contest had already started, which meant that Gargensole with the stolen ingredients would easily win the contest, and also that they couldn't get the pizza delivered nice and hot in time for Caesar to sample the pie, since Caesar hates cold pizza. Fortunately, the Smurfs had Handy's pizza oven moved onto Al Fresco's chariot so that they could bake the pizza while they are on the way to the contest. Just as Caesar was about to give Gargensole the first-place ribbon for his pizza, Al Fresco showed up in time to have Caesar sample his pizza from his portable pizza oven. Caesar was impressed by both the taste of the pizza and its innovative delivery system that he awarded Al Fresco the position as his head pizza maker instead of Gargensola, who was so mad that he flipped his own pizza right onto Caesar's head, which caused him and his cat Scampi to be thrown into the dungeon. Just before the Smurfs left, they enjoyed a pizza dinner together with Al Fresco.
